About this event

Join us for an exciting exhibition of three great American artists at the Phillips Collection: Milton Avery, Adolph Gottlieb, and Mark Rothko. We'll spend 1.5 hours with the art, and then you have the option to break into groups and have dinner or drinks in the Dupont Circle neighborhood. WHERE: The Phillips Collection, 1600 21st St. NW, Washington, DC 20009 COST: Free! MEET: Just inside the main entrance to the museum on 21st St. NW. Look for Molly with the rainbow LAL sign. This exhibition will tell the story of the enduring friendship between three towering figures in American art: Milton Avery (1885–1965), Adolph Gottlieb (1903–1974), and Mark Rothko (1903–1970), and highlight the inspiration they derived from summers in Gloucester, Massachusetts, on Cape Ann. Through approximately 90 paintings, drawings, and watercolors from the 1920s to the mid-1960s, this exhibition will for the first time reflect in depth on the artistic exchange between these three artists, the experiences they shared, and the support that they provided to each other. Many works in this exhibition have never been on public view!
