[chapter 38 / the phillips collection, washington, dc]

This may sound strange, but I love the architecture of the back of The Phillips Collection. The landscape of the buildings is so graphic, in its own contemporary and classic way. The museum's collection is phenomenal – there's even The Rothko Room, which limits up to 8 visitors at a time (pictured). Do you remember the post from last week titled overexposed? Well, here's the "real" shot on the bottom, Ellsworth Kelly's bronze sculpture, Untitled.

Happy Friday!

    1. Thank you so much Jamie! I really enjoyed my visit there, especially the exhibition "Snapshot: Painters and Photography, Bonnard to Vuillard." Really wish I could've taken a picture in there :)

  4. It's great to see the original shot from your overexposed post! The shot of the stair well (2nd down) looks like a beautiful sculpture.

    1. Thank you! I quite like the overexposed shot myself too. Isn't the staircase fantastic? Thought the single painting on the wall complements it perfectly.
