Frick Fact

Did you know that the most well-represented artist among those collected by Henry Clay Frick is James McNeill Whistler? During his lifetime, Frick purchased five oil paintings, three pastels, and eleven etchings by the American expatriate artist. In 2019, the Frick also received a promised gift of forty-two works on paper by the artist from the collection of Gertrude Kosovsky.

Discover all of Whistler's works in the collection at frick.org.

Frick Madison

The Frick will reopen to the public in early 2021 at Frick Madison. The temporary location will house the Frick's collections, programs, and staff during the renovation and expansion of our historic buildings.

West Orange Arts Council Presents Objet Trouvé: An Exhibit of Found Objects

Objet  Trouvé: An Exhibit of Found Objects

Virtual Exhibit and In-Person Exhibit 

WHEN: January 9, 2021 - February 27, 2021
WHERE: on the West Orange Arts Council website (www.woarts.org) and will be open for in-person timed-entry visits at the West Orange Arts Center, 551 Valley Road in West Orange, New Jersey.

The West Orange Arts Council (WOAC) presents Objet Trouvé, An Exhibit of Found Objects curated by Carol Black-Lemon.

Participating Artists: Virginia Block, Nina Cioppettini, Maria Estrela, Rona Goldfarb, Ellen Hark, Kathleen Heron, Mary Howe, Carol Jenkins, Cansuela Lawrence, Aron Lifschultz, Modern Fossils: Judith Marchand and David P. Horowitz, Frank Niccoletti, Amelia Panico, Jennifer Place, Danielle Scott, Georgia Varidakis, Alexandra Vasconcelos, and Ann Vollum.

Objet trouvé is a French term describing art created from undisguised, modified or ordinary materials elements or substances that are not normally considered to create art or already have a non-art function.  Artists are invited to demonstrate the unique ways they combine or repurpose found objects to evoke memories, spark connections and build upon themes. Common, discarded or unuseful objects, in the hands of an artist, are given new life, meaning, and purpose. This is a great opportunity for artists to use their imaginations and create something that is unexpected.

The exhibit is curated by Carol Black-Lemon, Vice Chair of the West Orange Arts Council. She is a contemporary fine artist who studied media art for advertising at the School of Visual Arts with a background as art director, marketing website administrator and is founder of her own fine art and graphic and web design business. Carol is committed to creating art, helping other artists and bringing awareness of the arts to our community.

The Objet Trouvé exhibit will be open for in-person visits, and timed-entry appointments mandatory. Hours posted on www.facebook.com/woac.org .  Attendees are required to social distance and wear face coverings at all times. An online gallery is on view at www.woarts.org.  

This program is made possible in part by funds from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts/Department of State, a Partner Agency of the National Endowment for the Arts and administered by the Essex County Division of Cultural and Historic Affairs and the Northern New Jersey Community Foundation COVID-19 Rapid Response Fund.

The Frick at Your Fingertips: Biweekly Highlights

The Frick at Your Fingertips

The start of the snowy season recalls Monet’s Vétheuil in Winter, explored in depth in a recent episode of Cocktails with a Curator and on the app. At the end of this challenging year, we are looking to the story of this work, which Monet created during a difficult period in his own life. Nevertheless, he continued to paint, producing breathtaking canvases of the town of Vétheuil from every vantage point, at every time of day, during every season.

We hope that, like Monet, you find inspiration through art this winter. We extend our heartfelt gratitude for your support of and engagement with the Frick over the last nine months and we look forward to sharing more moments of connection in the new year. Continue reading to find new offerings from the Frick, and follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter for more opportunities to discover great works of art.
