Support The Frick Collection

Internationally recognized as a premier museum and research center, The Frick Collection is known for its distinguished  Old Master paintings and outstanding examples of European sculpture and decorative arts.

Assembled by the Pittsburgh industrialist  Henry Clay Frick (1849-1919),  the collection is housed in the Frick family's former residence on Fifth Avenue. One of New York City's few remaining Gilded Age mansions, it provides a tranquil environment for visitors to experience masterpieces by artists such as Bellini, Rembrandt, Vermeer, Gainsborough, Goya, and Whistler. The museum  opened in 1935 and has continued to acquire works of art since Mr. Frick's death.

Adjacent to the museum  is the Frick Art Reference Library, founded  by Helen Clay Frick as a memorial  to her father. Today it is one of the leading institutions for research in the history of art and collecting.

Along with special exhibitions and an acclaimed concert series, the Frick offers a wide range of lectures, symposia, and education  programs that foster a deeper appreciation of the collection.
