Exhibition Overview
The Barlow Gilotty Collection is the culmination of over 30 years of Washington, DC, art collecting by Philip Barlow and Lisa Gilotty, both government employees.听The Washington Post听has referred to the couple as belonging to 鈥渁 new generation of Washington collectors鈥 in that they don鈥檛 fall into the old-money or uber-wealthy stereotype most people think of when hearing the term 鈥渁rt collector.鈥
Barlow and Gilotty celebrate the connection between collector and artist and community. This is a deeply considered collection that includes data points which highlight its organization and thoughtful structure. Their dedicated support of local artists is reflected in their deliberate inclusion of younger and diverse artists, which has resulted in an important overview during this time period in our cultural history. The breadth of their enthusiasm and love of art in its many forms celebrates our artistic community.
