WASHINGTON, DC
.- Dorothy Kosinski, Vradenburg Director and CEO of The Phillips Collection, announced today that she will conclude her tenure toward the end of 2022. Followed by a transition period, requested by the Board of Trustees, she will mark 15 years of distinguished leadership and be named Director Emerita.
Dr. Kosinski said: This is a moment of great celebration and achievement for me and the Phillips. This year, 2021, is the centennial of this distinguished institution. We have accomplished extraordinary work that has transformed the Phillips while maintaining its distinctive character as an intimate, experimental space. The Phillips is now more than ever an innovative and nimble organization, a museum poised for future challenges.

When printed photographs became available to the public in the mid-19th century, the phrase the camera never lies was coined, largely because the photograph was considered a faithful representation; a precise and infallible record of persons or events. We now know that the medium of photography is open to any number of manipulations and distortions. The current exhibition at the Palo Alto Art Center, The Black Index, seeks to, according to a press release, question our reliance on photography as a privileged source for documentary objectivity and understanding, especially as it pertains to Black subjects.
