    Education

    Philip Rylands was educated at Radley College, Oxfordshire, and earned a degree in art history from King’s College, Cambridge, before going on to complete a Ph.D. at the University of Cambridge in 1981.

    Career

    [edit]

    Peggy Guggenheim Collection

    [edit]

    After moving to Venice in 1973, Philip Rylands was introduced to the art collector Peggy Guggenheim by Victor Stanley. In 1976 Peggy Guggenheim donated both her collection and the Palazzo Venier dei Leoni building to her uncle's foundation, stipulating that she would retain the right to live in the building for the remainder of her life. After her death in 1979, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation in New York, decided to turn the house into a museum.[9]

    In 1980, Rylands became the administrator of Peggy Guggenheim's house and his objective was to transform the habitation into a proper museum. This involved the development of an architectural plan and a conservation assessment of the collection, including works on paper, paintings and sculptures; this reorganization doubled the adjacent spaces. The goals were to ensure the long-term preservation of the artworks, to expand and enhance the physical space by reconfiguring the layout and implementing an architectural plan that allowed for more room. The efforts aimed to accommodate a growing collection while also improving the overall visitor experience. In 1986 Rylands became the deputy director of the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, and in 2000, he was appointed as director. While serving as director of the museum he also founded the Guggenheim U.K. Charitable Trust.[10]

    In 2009 Rylands took on the role of director for the Guggenheim Foundation in Italy, a position he held while continuing to report to the Foundation's director in New York. He remained in this role until 2017 when he stepped down from his leadership position after nearly three decades.[10] During his thirty-five years as director, the overall size of the collection increased by more than 200 works and the Peggy Guggenheim Museum reached the first place in the rankings as the most visited museum of modern art in Italy, with 400,000 visitors in 2014.[11]

    The International Internship Program

    [edit]

    Philip Rylands established the Peggy Guggenheim International Internship Program. The program is managed by the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation in New York and coordinated by the museum's Educational Department at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection. This project, originally launched in 1980, as a call for adults to help with the museum's initial operations provides international internships for individuals interested in modern art. It offers participants the opportunity to engage with modern art in the cultural context of Venice. The internships are based on an inter-departmental approach across a broad range of the museum's activities, including educational programs and direct involvement in the museum's daily operations.[12]

    The Society of the Four Arts

    [edit]

    After a 38-years career at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Philip Rylands considered retiring. Two years after stepping down as director of the Venetian museum, he was offered the position as the president at The Society of the Four Arts, located in Palm Beach, Florida, where he also became the new chief executive officer in 2019.[13]

    A few months into his new role, the COVID-19 pandemic broke out, forcing the museum to close its doors to the public and prematurely end the season's programme. While all museums were inaccessible during the lockdown period, Rylands organised virtual events with remote access to maintain accessibilty during this period. When the Society of the Four Arts re-opened to visitors in 2022 Philip Rylands defined a more international scope for the museum.[13]

    University Professor and Art Critic

    [edit]

    Philip Rylands has served as professor at the University of Virginia, where he taught courses on art history, museum studies, and cultural preservation. His academic career also includes teaching positions at the University of Maryland's Overseas Division, where he lectured for 7 years, from 1974 to 1981. Rylands remained active in curating exhibitions and delivering occasional reviews for publications, such as the Burlington Magazine.[4]
