“MARKING THE INFINITE” at The Phillips Collection showcases the COVER work of nine leading Aboriginal SPOTLIGHT Australian women artists. In the late 1980s women artists took the reigns of the contemporary Aboriginal art movement in Aus- tralia. After years of working in the shadows, assisting their fathers and husbands, these women burst onto the scene, giving it a new vi- tality and dynamism. They redrew the boundaries of Aboriginal art, and continue to be among its most daring innovators. This mesmeriz- ing exhibition asks us to con- sider the unity and diversity of our world. On view through Sept. 9. Each year, millions visit Washington, D.C. for its iconic monuments. At night, lights contribute to a ©LEE STALSWORTH ©LEE particularly dramatic scene.
