The Phillips Collection highlights the diversity and intricacy of its permanent collection in Pour, Tear, Carve: Material Possibilities in the Collection. The multi-faceted exhibition on view March 18–May 14, 2023, features over 65 works from the Phillips’s vast permanent collection and delves into how artists have used both historic and contemporary art materials as conduits of meaning and to generate discussion.


Pour, Tear, Carve offers visitors the chance to see artworks from our permanent collection, including some on view for the first time,” shares Phillips Associate Curator Renée Maurer. “It is thrilling to showcase our collection in this fresh and eye-opening way. The exhibition introduces several key recent acquisitions to the collection by renowned living artists: Sanford Biggers, Diane Burko, Kevin Cole, Agnes Denes, Leonardo Drew, Jeffrey Gibson, Mimi Herbert, Martha Jarvis Jackson, Elias Sime, and Joyce Wellman. These new works will be placed in themed groupings with well-known and never-before-seen examples from the collection.”
