    Philip Rylands (born December 29, 1950) is an art historian, art critic, museum director, chief executive officer and organisation president.[1]

    Rylands worked at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice, where he served as director from 2000 to 2017. In this role he expanded the museum's programmes: this included curating exhibitions, delivering analyses of modern art works and developing educational programmes. He established the Peggy Guggenheim Collection Internship Program, to offer art historians the opportunity to gain practical experience through specialized art institutions.[2][1]

    He worked as director for the Guggenheim Foundation in Italy in 2009 and as the CEO of The Society of the Four Arts in Palm Beach, Florida in 2019.[3]

    Rylands has held academic positions in art history in several universities and has authored publications on different aspects of art criticism and its development in history. He still engages in organizing lectures and periodic exhibitions for students.[4]
