Is the New Frick Collection Just the Same Old Thing?
SHARE

The Frick Collection, located on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, is known for its vast array of artworks and historical significance. The museum, which recently underwent a renovation and expansion project, showcases a remarkable collection of paintings, including works by Vermeer, Boucher, Fragonard, Rembrandt, Bellini, van Dyck, Gainsborough, Goya, Hals, Turner, and El Greco.

The newly renovated museum features an updated reception area, an expanded bookshop and cafe, newly constructed temporary galleries, a new theater, and the opening of the Frick family quarters on the second floor. The renovation was led by Selldorf Architects, known for their work on several large art world projects. While the new additions are welcomed, they maintain a conservative and corporate aesthetic that does not detract from the museum’s star attractions: the artworks themselves.

One of the highlights of the museum is the addition of new paintings, including a 16th-century portrait by Giovanni Battista Moroni and a landscape by Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot. The museum has also recreated some rooms to evoke the time of Henry Clay Frick, the museum’s founder, and collector. The curators have paid special attention to presenting certain works in their original settings, creating a unique experience for visitors.

Despite its vast collection and historical significance, the Frick Collection has been criticized for its conservative nature and lack of inclusivity. The museum’s strict photography policy and age restrictions have raised questions about its accessibility to all visitors. Additionally, the museum’s ties to the wealth and excess of the Gilded Age have led to discussions about the role of museums in perpetuating narratives of wealth and power.

As the museum reopens to the public, visitors are encouraged to explore the collection and reflect on the history and context of the artworks on display. The Frick Collection offers a glimpse into the past while also posing important questions about the role of museums in society. Whether it be through its stunning artworks or its historical significance, the Frick Collection continues to be a place of inspiration and reflection for all who visit.
