The Pursuit of Immortality: Masterpieces from the Scher Collection of Portrait Medals
This catalogue, published to accompany an exhibition of the same name, includes highlights from the Scher Collection, arguably the world’s most comprehensive and significant private collection of portrait medals. The collection, part gift and promised gift to the Frick, dates from the fifteenth through the nineteenth century and comprises extraordinary examples from Italy, Germany, France, the Netherlands, and England.
