Flora Yukhnovich's Four Seasons
to

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.

Welcome Home: The Boucher Room

The Frick Collection’s renovated home has officially reopened! Among many highlights, the public can for the first time access the Frick mansion’s second floor, with a brand-new suite of galleries in former domestic spaces. Two years after our first video on one of these galleries, the Boucher Room, we invite you to check back in on the space in its final stages.

Restoring Mrs. Frick's Boudoir

Xavier F. Salomon, Deputy Director and Peter Jay Sharp Chief Curator, takes us behind the scenes into the revitalization of the Boucher Room—one of the most exciting aspects of The Frick Collection’s renovation and enhancement project. Named for its paintings by François Boucher and his workshop, the Boucher Room (formerly installed on the ground floor) is returning to its original location upstairs, where it was once Adelaide Frick’s private sitting room.

Cocktails with a Curator™: Boucher's "Four Seasons"

In this week’s episode of Cocktails with a Curator™, take a closer look at the extraordinary flickers of paint in the colorful canvases of François Boucher’s Four Seasons series with Deputy Director and Peter Jay Sharp Chief Curator Xavier F. Salomon. Acquired by Henry Clay Frick late in life, the four paintings were commissioned by Boucher’s great patron Madame de Pompadour—the longtime mistress of King Louis XV—to be placed over doors, hence their unusual shape. The complementary cocktail this week is the Time Regained.
