Exhibitions
In early 2012, The Frick Collection will present an exhibition of nine iconic Impressionist paintings by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, offering the first comprehensive study of the artist's engagement with the full-length format, which was associated with the official Paris Salon in the decade that saw the emergence of a fully fledged Impressionist aesthetic. The project was inspired by La Promenade of 1875–76, the most significant Impressionist work in the Fricks permanent collection. It explores Renoir's portraits and subject pictures of this type from the mid-1870s to mid-1880s. Intended for public display, these vertical grand-scale canvases are among the artist's most daring and ambitious presentations of contemporary subjects and are today considered masterpieces of Impressionism. On view only at the Frick, this is a landmark exhibition, bringing together, with the Frick painting, several beloved masterpieces from around the world. Works on loan from international institutions are La Parisienne (1874) from the…

New Portico Gallery Opens with Presentation of Sculpture and Selections from an Important Promised Gift of Meissen Porcelain from Henry H. Arnhold: White Gold: Highlights from the Arnhold Collection of Meissen Porcelain
On December 13, visitors to The Frick Collection will be able to enjoy a new gallery — the first major addition to the museum's display spaces in nearly thirty-five years. The inspiration for this initiative, which involves the enclosure of the portico in the Fifth Avenue Garden, comes from the intention of museum founder Henry Clay Frick (1849–1919) to build an addition to his 1914 mansion for his growing Collection of sculpture. The project was postponed in 1917 following the United States entry into World War I, and Mr. Frick died before it could be resumed. In recent years, the institution has placed greater focus on sculpture through critically acclaimed exhibitions and several key acquisitions, while also evaluating the effectiveness of the display and lighting of such objects.…

Exhibitions
In late 2010 a generous bequest of ten drawings was made to the Frick by the estate of its former Director Charles Ryskamp. During his tenure at the museum, Ryskamp — an avid collector of works on paper and a champion of connoisseurship — strongly promoted drawings exhibitions and establishing additional room for their display in the Cabinet gellery. Appropriately, that will be the setting for the spring 2012 presentation of the ten works from the Charles Ryskamp bequest, their first showing at the institution.
The drawings were chosen out of Ryskamp's extensive collection by Director Anne L. Poulet, Associate Director and Peter Jay Sharp Chief Curator Colin B. Bailey, and Senior Curator Susan Galassi. Three of them, by artists also acquired by Henry Clay Frick, complement oil paintings in the museum's collection — a landscape in pencil by Pierre-Étienne Rousseau, an early academic nude by Edgar Degas, and a pen-and-ink character study by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo. Seven others — including Pierre-Joseph Re…

Exhibitions
In early 2012, The Frick Collection will present an exhibition of nine iconic Impressionist paintings by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, offering the first comprehensive study of the artist's engagement with the full-length format, which was associated with the official Paris Salon in the decade that saw the emergence of a fully fledged Impressionist aesthetic. The project was inspired by La Promenade of 1875–76, the most significant Impressionist work in the Fricks permanent collection. It explores Renoir's portraits and subject pictures of this type from the mid-1870s to mid-1880s. Intended for public display, these vertical grand-scale canvases are among the artist's most daring and ambitious presentations of contemporary subjects and are today considered masterpieces of Impressionism. On view only at the Frick, this is a landmark exhibition, bringing together, with the Frick painting, several beloved masterpieces from around the world. Works on loan from international institutions are La Parisienne (1874) from the…

New Portico Gallery Opens with Presentation of Sculpture and Selections from an Important Promised Gift of Meissen Porcelain from Henry H. Arnhold: White Gold: Highlights from the Arnhold Collection of Meissen Porcelain
On December 13, visitors to The Frick Collection will be able to enjoy a new gallery — the first major addition to the museum's display spaces in nearly thirty-five years. The inspiration for this initiative, which involves the enclosure of the portico in the Fifth Avenue Garden, comes from the intention of museum founder Henry Clay Frick (1849–1919) to build an addition to his 1914 mansion for his growing Collection of sculpture. The project was postponed in 1917 following the United States entry into World War I, and Mr. Frick died before it could be resumed. In recent years, the institution has placed greater focus on sculpture through critically acclaimed exhibitions and several key acquisitions, while also evaluating the effectiveness of the display and lighting of such objects.…

Exhibitions
In late 2010 a generous bequest of ten drawings was made to the Frick by the estate of its former Director Charles Ryskamp. During his tenure at the museum, Ryskamp — an avid collector of works on paper and a champion of connoisseurship — strongly promoted drawings exhibitions and establishing additional room for their display in the Cabinet gellery. Appropriately, that will be the setting for the spring 2012 presentation of the ten works from the Charles Ryskamp bequest, their first showing at the institution.
The drawings were chosen out of Ryskamp's extensive collection by Director Anne L. Poulet, Associate Director and Peter Jay Sharp Chief Curator Colin B. Bailey, and Senior Curator Susan Galassi. Three of them, by artists also acquired by Henry Clay Frick, complement oil paintings in the museum's collection — a landscape in pencil by Pierre-Étienne Rousseau, an early academic nude by Edgar Degas, and a pen-and-ink character study by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo. Seven others — including Pierre-Joseph Re…

New Portico Gallery Opens with Presentation of Sculpture and Selections from an Important Promised Gift of Meissen Porcelain from Henry H. Arnhold: White Gold: Highlights from the Arnhold Collection of Meissen Porcelain
On December 13, visitors to The Frick Collection will be able to enjoy a new gallery — the first major addition to the museum's display spaces in nearly thirty-five years. The inspiration for this initiative, which involves the enclosure of the portico in the Fifth Avenue Garden, comes from the intention of museum founder Henry Clay Frick (1849–1919) to build an addition to his 1914 mansion for his growing Collection of sculpture. The project was postponed in 1917 following the United States entry into World War I, and Mr. Frick died before it could be resumed. In recent years, the institution has placed greater focus on sculpture through critically acclaimed exhibitions and several key acquisitions, while also evaluating the effectiveness of the display and lighting of such objects.…

"Fashioning the Mistress," by Gloria Groom, The Art Institute of Chicago
Lectures
Between 1866 and 1872 Renoir featured his mistress Lise Tréhot in more than thirty paintings, ranging from small and intimate genre scenes to the full-length canvases that he exhibited. Tréhot, wearing the most up-to-the-minute fashions, served as Renoir’s calling card by advertising the artist as a painter of modern life, and especially of the fashionable Parisienne. This lecture will explore Renoir’s access and relationship to the burgeoning fashion industry and Tréhot’s collaborative role in helping to launch his artistic career.

Exhibitions
In late 2010 a generous bequest of ten drawings was made to the Frick by the estate of its former Director Charles Ryskamp. During his tenure at the museum, Ryskamp — an avid collector of works on paper and a champion of connoisseurship — strongly promoted drawings exhibitions and establishing additional room for their display in the Cabinet gellery. Appropriately, that will be the setting for the spring 2012 presentation of the ten works from the Charles Ryskamp bequest, their first showing at the institution.
The drawings were chosen out of Ryskamp's extensive collection by Director Anne L. Poulet, Associate Director and Peter Jay Sharp Chief Curator Colin B. Bailey, and Senior Curator Susan Galassi. Three of them, by artists also acquired by Henry Clay Frick, complement oil paintings in the museum's collection — a landscape in pencil by Pierre-Étienne Rousseau, an early academic nude by Edgar Degas, and a pen-and-ink character study by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo. Seven others — including Pierre-Joseph Re…

Exhibitions
In early 2012, The Frick Collection will present an exhibition of nine iconic Impressionist paintings by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, offering the first comprehensive study of the artist's engagement with the full-length format, which was associated with the official Paris Salon in the decade that saw the emergence of a fully fledged Impressionist aesthetic. The project was inspired by La Promenade of 1875–76, the most significant Impressionist work in the Fricks permanent collection. It explores Renoir's portraits and subject pictures of this type from the mid-1870s to mid-1880s. Intended for public display, these vertical grand-scale canvases are among the artist's most daring and ambitious presentations of contemporary subjects and are today considered masterpieces of Impressionism. On view only at the Frick, this is a landmark exhibition, bringing together, with the Frick painting, several beloved masterpieces from around the world. Works on loan from international institutions are La Parisienne (1874) from the…

In late 2010 a generous bequest of ten drawings was made to the Frick by the estate of its former Director Charles Ryskamp. During his tenure at the museum, Ryskamp — an avid collector of works on paper and a champion of connoisseurship — strongly promoted drawings exhibitions and establishing additional room for their display in the Cabinet gellery. Appropriately, that will be the setting for the spring 2012 presentation of the ten works from the Charles Ryskamp bequest, their first showing at the institution.
The drawings were chosen out of Ryskamp's extensive collection by Director Anne L. Poulet, Associate Director and Peter Jay Sharp Chief Curator Colin B. Bailey, and Senior Curator Susan Galassi. Three of them, by artists also acquired by Henry Clay Frick, complement oil paintings in the museum's collection — a landscape in pencil by Pierre-Étienne Rousseau, an early academic nude by Edgar Degas, and a pen-and-ink character study by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo. Seven others — including Pierre-Joseph Re…

Exhibitions
In early 2012, The Frick Collection will present an exhibition of nine iconic Impressionist paintings by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, offering the first comprehensive study of the artist's engagement with the full-length format, which was associated with the official Paris Salon in the decade that saw the emergence of a fully fledged Impressionist aesthetic. The project was inspired by La Promenade of 1875–76, the most significant Impressionist work in the Fricks permanent collection. It explores Renoir's portraits and subject pictures of this type from the mid-1870s to mid-1880s. Intended for public display, these vertical grand-scale canvases are among the artist's most daring and ambitious presentations of contemporary subjects and are today considered masterpieces of Impressionism. On view only at the Frick, this is a landmark exhibition, bringing together, with the Frick painting, several beloved masterpieces from around the world. Works on loan from international institutions are La Parisienne (1874) from the…

New Portico Gallery Opens with Presentation of Sculpture and Selections from an Important Promised Gift of Meissen Porcelain from Henry H. Arnhold: White Gold: Highlights from the Arnhold Collection of Meissen Porcelain
On December 13, visitors to The Frick Collection will be able to enjoy a new gallery — the first major addition to the museum's display spaces in nearly thirty-five years. The inspiration for this initiative, which involves the enclosure of the portico in the Fifth Avenue Garden, comes from the intention of museum founder Henry Clay Frick (1849–1919) to build an addition to his 1914 mansion for his growing Collection of sculpture. The project was postponed in 1917 following the United States entry into World War I, and Mr. Frick died before it could be resumed. In recent years, the institution has placed greater focus on sculpture through critically acclaimed exhibitions and several key acquisitions, while also evaluating the effectiveness of the display and lighting of such objects.…

On December 13, visitors to The Frick Collection will be able to enjoy a new gallery — the first major addition to the museum's display spaces in nearly thirty-five years. The inspiration for this initiative, which involves the enclosure of the portico in the Fifth Avenue Garden, comes from the intention of museum founder Henry Clay Frick (1849–1919) to build an addition to his 1914 mansion for his growing Collection of sculpture. The project was postponed in 1917 following the United States entry into World War I, and Mr. Frick died before it could be resumed. In recent years, the institution has placed greater focus on sculpture through critically acclaimed exhibitions and several key acquisitions, while also evaluating the effectiveness of the display and lighting of such objects.…

Exhibitions
In late 2010 a generous bequest of ten drawings was made to the Frick by the estate of its former Director Charles Ryskamp. During his tenure at the museum, Ryskamp — an avid collector of works on paper and a champion of connoisseurship — strongly promoted drawings exhibitions and establishing additional room for their display in the Cabinet gellery. Appropriately, that will be the setting for the spring 2012 presentation of the ten works from the Charles Ryskamp bequest, their first showing at the institution.
The drawings were chosen out of Ryskamp's extensive collection by Director Anne L. Poulet, Associate Director and Peter Jay Sharp Chief Curator Colin B. Bailey, and Senior Curator Susan Galassi. Three of them, by artists also acquired by Henry Clay Frick, complement oil paintings in the museum's collection — a landscape in pencil by Pierre-Étienne Rousseau, an early academic nude by Edgar Degas, and a pen-and-ink character study by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo. Seven others — including Pierre-Joseph Re…

Exhibitions
In early 2012, The Frick Collection will present an exhibition of nine iconic Impressionist paintings by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, offering the first comprehensive study of the artist's engagement with the full-length format, which was associated with the official Paris Salon in the decade that saw the emergence of a fully fledged Impressionist aesthetic. The project was inspired by La Promenade of 1875–76, the most significant Impressionist work in the Fricks permanent collection. It explores Renoir's portraits and subject pictures of this type from the mid-1870s to mid-1880s. Intended for public display, these vertical grand-scale canvases are among the artist's most daring and ambitious presentations of contemporary subjects and are today considered masterpieces of Impressionism. On view only at the Frick, this is a landmark exhibition, bringing together, with the Frick painting, several beloved masterpieces from around the world. Works on loan from international institutions are La Parisienne (1874) from the…

New Portico Gallery Opens with Presentation of Sculpture and Selections from an Important Promised Gift of Meissen Porcelain from Henry H. Arnhold: White Gold: Highlights from the Arnhold Collection of Meissen Porcelain
On December 13, visitors to The Frick Collection will be able to enjoy a new gallery — the first major addition to the museum's display spaces in nearly thirty-five years. The inspiration for this initiative, which involves the enclosure of the portico in the Fifth Avenue Garden, comes from the intention of museum founder Henry Clay Frick (1849–1919) to build an addition to his 1914 mansion for his growing Collection of sculpture. The project was postponed in 1917 following the United States entry into World War I, and Mr. Frick died before it could be resumed. In recent years, the institution has placed greater focus on sculpture through critically acclaimed exhibitions and several key acquisitions, while also evaluating the effectiveness of the display and lighting of such objects.…

New Portico Gallery Opens with Presentation of Sculpture and Selections from an Important Promised Gift of Meissen Porcelain from Henry H. Arnhold: White Gold: Highlights from the Arnhold Collection of Meissen Porcelain
On December 13, visitors to The Frick Collection will be able to enjoy a new gallery — the first major addition to the museum's display spaces in nearly thirty-five years. The inspiration for this initiative, which involves the enclosure of the portico in the Fifth Avenue Garden, comes from the intention of museum founder Henry Clay Frick (1849–1919) to build an addition to his 1914 mansion for his growing Collection of sculpture. The project was postponed in 1917 following the United States entry into World War I, and Mr. Frick died before it could be resumed. In recent years, the institution has placed greater focus on sculpture through critically acclaimed exhibitions and several key acquisitions, while also evaluating the effectiveness of the display and lighting of such objects.…

Exhibitions
In late 2010 a generous bequest of ten drawings was made to the Frick by the estate of its former Director Charles Ryskamp. During his tenure at the museum, Ryskamp — an avid collector of works on paper and a champion of connoisseurship — strongly promoted drawings exhibitions and establishing additional room for their display in the Cabinet gellery. Appropriately, that will be the setting for the spring 2012 presentation of the ten works from the Charles Ryskamp bequest, their first showing at the institution.
The drawings were chosen out of Ryskamp's extensive collection by Director Anne L. Poulet, Associate Director and Peter Jay Sharp Chief Curator Colin B. Bailey, and Senior Curator Susan Galassi. Three of them, by artists also acquired by Henry Clay Frick, complement oil paintings in the museum's collection — a landscape in pencil by Pierre-Étienne Rousseau, an early academic nude by Edgar Degas, and a pen-and-ink character study by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo. Seven others — including Pierre-Joseph Re…

Exhibitions
In early 2012, The Frick Collection will present an exhibition of nine iconic Impressionist paintings by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, offering the first comprehensive study of the artist's engagement with the full-length format, which was associated with the official Paris Salon in the decade that saw the emergence of a fully fledged Impressionist aesthetic. The project was inspired by La Promenade of 1875–76, the most significant Impressionist work in the Fricks permanent collection. It explores Renoir's portraits and subject pictures of this type from the mid-1870s to mid-1880s. Intended for public display, these vertical grand-scale canvases are among the artist's most daring and ambitious presentations of contemporary subjects and are today considered masterpieces of Impressionism. On view only at the Frick, this is a landmark exhibition, bringing together, with the Frick painting, several beloved masterpieces from around the world. Works on loan from international institutions are La Parisienne (1874) from the…
