On January 14, 1,500 objects go on view in the Luce Center for American Art: Visible Storage/Study Center, a 5,000-square-foot space designed by the curatorial staff.

Circle of Friends

In the 1920's, photographer Alfred Stieglitz turned collector Duncan Phillips on to home-grown modernism.

Glamour King
