Exhibition- Stella Sounds: The Scarlatti K Series

Most DC visitors frequent the various Smithsonian museums, but they don't know what they're missing at the Phillips Collection! This Frank Stella exhibition is the first time his Scarlatti Kirkpatrick series will be displayed at a museum.

Bright colors and lots of visual movement! Can you tell that these works were inspired by musicians Domenico Scarlatti and Ralph Kirkpatrick?
