The Frick Art Reference Library holds perhaps the only surviving copy of the paintings catalog of Mary Jane Morgan, a New York City art collector from the late 1800s. The paintings guide is one of the library’s more than 1,600 private collection catalogs, a number of which were acquired by founder Helen Clay Frick. In this episode, Samantha Deutch, Digital Art History Lead, investigates this fascinating catalog, its use as a visitor guide to Morgan’s home, and other materials related to Morgan’s record-setting collection sale.
