Welcome to The Frick Collection. Internationally recognized as a premier museum and research center, the Frick is known for its distinguished Old Master paintings and outstanding examples of European sculpture and decorative arts.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Collection<\/strong><\/p>\n

The collection originated with Henry Clay Frick (1849\u20131919), who bequeathed his home, paintings, sculptures, and decorative arts to the public for their enjoyment. The institution\u2019s holdings\u2014which encompass masterworks from the Renaissance through the nineteenth century\u2014have grown over the decades, more than doubling in size since the opening of the museum in 1935. A critical component of the institution is the Frick Art Reference Library, founded in 1920 by Helen Clay Frick, daughter of the museum\u2019s founder. Recognized as one of the world\u2019s top art history research centers, it has served students, scholars, and members of the public free of charge for generations.<\/p>\n

ABOUT THE FRICK\u2019S RENOVATION PROJECT<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Our historic buildings are closed for renovation. Honoring the Frick\u2019s architectural legacy, the plan designed by Selldorf Architects will provide unprecedented access to the 1914 residence, while preserving the intimate visitor experience and beloved galleries. The plan will create new spaces for the\u00a0display of art, conservation, education, and programs, while improving amenities and overall accessibility.<\/p>\n

A visit to The Frick Collection evokes the splendor and tranquility of a time gone by and at the same time testifies to the power of great art collections to inspire viewers today. Housed in the New York City\u00a0mansion built by Henry Clay Frick (1849-1919), one of America’s most successful industrialists, are masterpieces of Western painting, sculpture, and decorative art, displayed in a serene and intimate setting. Each of the Collection’s sixteen permanent\u00a0galleries offers a unique presentation of\u00a0artworks arranged for the most part without regard to period or national origin, akin to the way Mr. Frick enjoyed the art he loved before bequeathing it to the public.<\/p>\n

Both the mansion and the works\u00a0within it\u00a0serve as a monument to one of America’s greatest art collectors. Built in 1913-14 from designs by the firm Carr\u00e8re and Hastings, the house is set back from Fifth Avenue by an elevated garden punctuated by three magnificent magnolia trees. Since Mr. Frick’s death in 1919, the Collection has expanded both its physical dimensions and its holdings. Nearly half of the Collection’s paintings and several important sculptures and decorative art objects have been acquired since then, and three times \u2014 in 1931\u201335, 1977, and in 2011 \u2014 the building has been enlarged to better serve the public.<\/p>\n

At the Frick, visitors stroll from the airy, lighthearted Fragonard Room, named for that artist’s large wall paintings of\u00a0The Progress of Love\u00a0and furnished with exceptional eighteenth-century French furniture and S\u00e8vres porcelain, to the more austere atmosphere of the Living Hall, filled with masterpieces by Holbein, Titian, El Greco, and Bellini. Passing through the Library, rich with Italian bronzes and Chinese porcelain vases, one arrives at Mr. Frick’s long West Gallery, hung with celebrated canvases including landscapes by Constable, Ruisdael, and Corot and portraits by Rembrandt and Vel\u00e1zquez. Vermeer’s\u00a0Mistress and Maid, the last painting Mr. Frick bought, is one of three pictures by that artist in the Collection, while Piero della Francesca’s image of\u00a0St. John the Evangelist,\u00a0dominating the Enamels Room, is one of the few paintings by Piero in the United States. The East Gallery, often adorned with works by Goya, Van Dyck, Chardin, Greuze, and others, usually concludes a visit to the galleries and leads visitors to the serene space of the Garden Court, where they pause beneath the skylight, surrounded by greenery and the gentle sounds of the fountain.<\/p>\n
