The Frick at Your Fingertips: Biweekly Highlights

The Frick at Your Fingertips

 

With the holidays approaching, the Frick would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude for your enthusiasm and support in 2021. Between the momentous opening of our temporary home, Frick Madison, and all-time records for online engagement, we are more grateful than ever to you and the entire Frick community.

We invite you to ring in the New Year by revisiting our acclaimed 2020–21 series Cocktails with a Curator. All sixty-five episodes—featuring rich insights from our curators on works in the collection paired with festive cocktail recipes—can be streamed for free on our YouTube channel.

Please note, Frick Madison will close at 3:00 p.m. on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve and will be closed on Christmas Day and New Year's Day.

Living Histories: Queer Views and Old Masters

Frick Madison, Second Floor

On view now, Salman Toor's Museum Boys (through January 16) and Doron Langberg's Lover (through January 23) can be found in the galleries at Frick Madison paired with the iconic Old Master works that inspired them. The paintings are the first two in a series of four juxtapositions to be installed as part of the Frick's current project Living Histories: Queer Views and Old Masters.

Langberg's Lover, seen here, responds to Hans Holbein's 1527 painting Sir Thomas More and explores themes of tactility and closeness.

Join a Frick educator for an online dialogue on Langberg's work in an upcoming session of Continue the Conversation on January 13.

Bellini and Breuer,
Odes to Light

Light is a theme that threads throughout the collection, but nowhere does it appear so arrestingly at Frick Madison as in the juxtaposition between Bellini’s St. Francis and Breuer’s window.
