THE STORY, IN BRIEF

Kriston Capps’s January 2022 Hyperallergic review examined the Phillips Collection’s anniversary programme through Black abstraction. Retrospectives of Alma Thomas and David Driskell were accompanied by commissions involving Victor Ekpuk and Nekisha Durrett, and an installation by Sanford Biggers. Capps connected these presentations to Washington’s artistic histories, while asking whether this institutional attention would continue beyond a single celebratory season.
