Identifier: CC-43814-45910

Roberta Smith reviews Tom Phillips' exhibition at Flowers Gallery NYC on June 3, 2005. She was particularly taken with the new collage works that "are the stongest in the show."

The reward aside from visual pleasure, is confirmation that anything is possible." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
