 The Guide -- Collector's Best Goes on Exhibit
It is fitting that the Phillips Collection throws the viewer for this twist in the conventional logic and expectations of exhibition, which repeated visits to conventional museums have ingrained.
It was a hallmark of Phillips’ expertise that each artist in the collection is represented by what he called "units," whereby a few paintings by an artist could present an academic presentation of the artist’s fundamental qualities.
This placement is significant of Phillip’s lack of enthusiasm toward Picasso in favor of artists such as Braque, who Phillips found to possess an ideal blend of the classical and the personal.
