The Frick Collection is housed in the former residence of steel magnate Henry Clay Frick, which was designed by Thomas Hastings and constructed in 1913-1914.
The Frick Collection includes paintings by European artists, major works of sculpture (among them one of the finest groups of small bronzes in the world), eighteenth-century French furniture and porcelains, Limoges enamels, Oriental rugs, and other works of remarkable quality.
In addition, several special exhibitions are scheduled annually.
"Each of sixteen galleries offers a unique presentation of works of art arranged for the most part without regard to period or national origin, in the same spirit as Mr. Frick enjoyed the art he loved before he bequeathed it to the public."
Artists in the collection include Bellini, Boucher, Constable, Gainsborough, Rembrandt, Titian, Turner, van Dyck, Vermeer & Piero della Francesca.
