Marjorie Phillips was the wife of Duncan Phillips, of The Phillips Collection in Washington D.C. Marjorie was both an artist and a partner to her husband in the development of The Phillips Collection.  Her works were exhibited both at the Phillips and in other galleries. She was most identified with her painting Night Baseball, which depicts Joe DiMaggio at bat against the Washington Senators in 1951. Accustomed to day games, she later wrote she was "thrilled" by the changing colors of the night sky. Night Baseball became something of an icon in the city after the Senators left in 1971.  "They can take away the team," wrote the Washington Post in 1985, "but they haven't been able to take away the painting." 

The print, Night Baseball, was purchased and donated by Jerry Perry, former Health Sciences Library Director.
