The Impressionist Line from Degas to Toulouse-Lautrec: Drawings and Prints from the Clark

March 12, 2013 to June 16, 2013
This exhibition presented a selection of nineteenth-century French drawings and prints from the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute in Williamstown, Massachusetts. Sheets by Millet, Courbet, Degas, Manet, Pissarro, Gauguin, Toulouse-Lautrec, and other masters are on view. Ranging widely in subject matter and technique and spanning the entire second half of the nineteenth century, these works represent the diverse interests of Realist, Impressionist, and Post-Impressionist artists in a rapidly changing world.

Piero della Francesca in America

February 12, 2013 to May 19, 2013
Revered in his own time as a "monarch" of painting, Piero della Francesca (1411/13–1492) is acknowledged today as a founding figure of the Italian Renaissance. In early 2013, The Frick Collection presented the first monographic exhibition in the United States dedicated to the artist. It brought together seven works by Piero della Francesca, including six panels from the Saint’ Agostino altarpiece — the largest number from this masterwork ever reassembled. They were joined by the Virgin and Child Enthroned with Four Angels, his only intact altarpiece in this country. Piero della Francesca in America was organized by Nathaniel Silver, Guest Curator and former Andrew W. Mellon Curatorial Fellow.

Vincent van Gogh's Portrait of a Peasant (Patience Escalier)

October 30, 2012 to January 20, 2013

Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890) painted his Portrait of a Peasant (Patience Escalier) in August 1888 during a highly productive fifteen-month stay in Arles in southern France. The opportunity to display this work in New York is the result of a special exchange program between the Norton Simon Museum, Pasadena, and The Frick Collection and marks the first time in forty years that the painting has left its home institution.

Mantegna to Matisse: Master Drawings from the Courtauld Gallery

October 2, 2012 to January 27, 2013

In keeping with its tradition of exhibiting masterworks from collections outside of New York, the Frick presented fifty-eight drawings from The Courtauld Gallery, London. This exhibition marked the first time that so many of the principal drawings in The Courtauld's renowned collection — one of Britain's most important — have been made available for loan. The prized sheets represent a survey of the extraordinary draftsmanship of Italian, Dutch, Flemish, German, Spanish, British, and French artists active between the late Middle Ages and the early twentieth century.
