In a conversation held in our Stephen A. Schwarzman Auditorium on May 19, 2025, sculptor Vladimir Kanevsky spoke with Xavier F. Salomon, Deputy Director and Peter Jay Sharp Chief Curator, about Porcelain Garden, extended through November 17, 2025. The display showcases a commissioned series of porcelain plants and flowers, meant to evoke the fresh floral bouquets installed throughout the Frick’s galleries when the museum first opened in 1935.
