Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Overwhelmingly, visitors agree that The Frick Collection in New York City is one of their favorite museums in the world. The elegant Fifth Avenue mansion, built in 1914 for Mr. and Mrs. Henry Clay Frick, houses a unique assemblage of some of the choicest art to be found anywhere. In this book, Charles Ryskamp - the Director of The Frick Collection - introduces the reader to the world of Henry Clay Frick, to the evolution of his collection, as well as to the historical and aesthetic framework within which The Frick Collection attained its eminence. Then, in separate sections devoted to paintings, sculpture, and the decorative arts, written by the curatorial staff, the pages of Art in The Frick Collection offer vibrant reproductions of the famous works, with information on every piece illustrated and magnificent views of the richly furnished room where they are installed. As Sir John Pope-Hennessy has observed: "In The Frick Collection, alone of the great museums of the world, paintings and sculpture of comparable quality are shown side by side". Paintings by Rembrandt, Vermeer, Memling, Velazquez, Constable, and Renoir hang next to some of the finest of Renaissance bronzes, marble portrait busts by such sculptors as Verrocchio and Houdon, and eighteenth-century terracotta figures. Furniture of wood and marble, gilt bronze and porcelain - including pieces made for Marie-Antoinette - match these in importance. Readers will enjoy browsing through this selection of the treasures to be seen in the house built by Mr. Frick, offered here in the most extensive one-volume survey to be published on the renowned Collection.

Download or read book The Frick Collection written by Edgar Munhall and published by Scala Books. This book was released on 1999 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Frick Collection in New York ranks among the world's most prestigious art collections. It is the legacy of Henry Clay Frick (1849-1919), a powerful industrialist of the 19th century, who was regarded as one of the most discriminating collectors of his age. Frick spent only five years in his grand neoclassical townhouse, designed to serve both as a family residence and a private art gallery. The result is unique in terms of the quality of its contents and the luxurious domestic atmosphere in which they are shown. This title presents a selection of the most important works in The Frick Collection, as well as some of the remarkable interiors that house them. Each work is presented in color and accompanied by a succinct commentary. A short biography is provided on each artist, and additional information is given on elements of the architecture and decoration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The unique and internationally celebrated atmosphere of The Frick Collection has as much to do with the decorative arts as with its iconic collection of old master paintings. As the sumptuous house Henry Clay Frick constructed at 70th Street took shape between 1912 and 1914, he recognised the need for furnishings of a calibre that matched his painting collection. Together with later acquisitions and gifts, Frick's purchases of enamels, clocks and watches, furniture, gilt bronzes, porcelain, ceramics, silver and textiles are the equals of the works on canvas and far exceed them in number. Included here are carefully selected blocs of decorative arts from stunning collections of Limoges enamels and Sevres porcelain to French eighteenth-century furniture and an extraordinary collection of clocks and watches. Long overdue, this handbook - the first devoted to the decorative arts in the Frick's collection - provides a valuable introduction to this area. AUTHOR: Charlotte Vignon is the Curator of Decorative Arts at The Frick Collection. SELLING POINTS: * The only handbook available on the decorative arts collection of The Frick Collection in New York, which receives nearly 300,000 visitors a year * Makes a great companion volume to the popular book 'The Frick Collection: Handbook of Paintings' 160 colour
