A PLAYLIST FOR GOTTLIEB

The Phillips Collection asked staff to create a playlist in response individual artwork, including “Labyrinth #1,” (1950) that are currently exhibited in “Ten Americans After Paul Klee." 

Inspired by this, the Gottlieb Foundation has created an additional playlist for this work. "Although Gottlieb didn’t have any music in his studio,” says Executive Director Sanford Hirsch, “he did have a good collection of records at home. Using those as a starting point, here are a few selections from around the same time as Labyrinth was painted, and from musicians Gottlieb listened to." 

Listen to the playlist now on the Phillips Collection’s website. 

“Ten Americans After Paul Klee” is now on view at the Phillips Collection through May 6th, 2018.
