Flora Yukhnovich’s Four Seasons
September 3, 2025 to March 9, 2026
Taking inspiration from the French Rococo, Italian Baroque, and Abstract Expressionist movements, Flora Yukhnovich (b. England, 1990) creates work that is at once modern and timeless by translating historic compositions into contemporary abstractions. Using the Frick’s Four Seasons by François Boucher as a point of departure, Yukhnovich's site-specific mural covers the walls of the museum's Cabinet.
Upcoming
Gainsborough: The Fashion of Portraiture
February 12 to May 11, 2026
Gainsborough: The Fashion of Portraiture explores the relationship between works by period-defining English artist Thomas Gainsborough and fashion, a concept and industry that touched nearly every aspect of British society in the eighteenth century.
The museum's first special exhibition dedicated to the artist—and the first devoted to Gainsborough's portraiture ever held in New York—this show brings together over two dozen of Gainsborough's most spectacular portraits from across North America and the United Kingdom, representing each stage of his four-decade career.
Ruffles & Ribbons: Fashion Plates from the Time of Marie Antoinette
April 1 to August 3, 2026
Organized in conjunction with Gainsborough: The Fashion of Portraiture, this Cabinet installation presents twenty-four hand-colored engravings that depict French fashion in the late eighteenth century. These plates are selected from Gallerie des modes et costumes français (1778–87), the largest and most influential series of its day. Despite their aesthetic appeal and cultural significance, most copies of Gallerie des modes were destroyed during the French Revolution. The Frick Art Research Library has an impressive collection of three hundred and seventy original prints, a selection of which will be on view at the Frick for the first time.
