Hank Willis Thomas The Liberation of T.O. I'm not goin back ta' work for massa in dat' darn field, 2003
This spring, Phillips debuted a series of intimate panel discussions about the critical significance of the art gallery and the evolving relationship between artists, galleries, auction houses and collectors. Moderated by Arnold Lehman, Senior Advisor at Phillips and former Director of the Brooklyn Museum, Art Matters brought together a variety of voices from today's global art community, including artists Hank Willis Thomas, Joel Shapiro, Sharon Core and Liliana Porter and gallerists Jack Shainman, Yancey Richardson and Pace's Douglas Baxter.
This fall, Art Matters will expand to London with a series of discussions hosted by Francesco Bonami, Senior Advisor at Phillips and former curator of the Venice Biennale.
As we look ahead to a new season, watch our first-ever panel series from this spring at 450 Park Avenue.
