The Life and Legacy of Laughlin Phillips
Laughlin Phillips, also known by the name Loc Phillips, was an American museum director and painter born in Washington, D.C., United States. The son of art collector Duncan Phillips and painter Marjorie Acker Phillips, he grew up in a home that served as the site for the Phillips Memorial Gallery. His early years were spent in a Georgian Revival house in Dupont Circle before the family moved to a mansion known as Dunmarlin on Foxhall Road NW. During his youth, he attended St. Albans School and later studied at Yale University and the University of Chicago.
Beyond his role in the art world, Phillips had a diverse professional history. He served as an Army intelligence officer in the Pacific theater during World War II, an experience for which he earned a Bronze Star Medal. He later worked as an analyst for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), with assignments in locations such as Saigon and Tehran. Additionally, he co-founded the magazine Washingtonian.

He retired as museum director in 1992 and continued to serve as chairman of the board until 2002. He passed away in 2010.
