Frick Madison

A temporary home for our beloved Frick Museum. The fabulous St Francis (Bellini) and The Three Philosophers (Giorgione). BIG shout out to Bloomberg for the tech to look and listen to insights about the artwork! A must have app! (Bloomberg Connects)

I was there during weekdays to see the works of Barkley LH and some works of the impressionists. The museum in its temporary location is housed in a small building but with 2 elevators. I started at the top and used the stairs on my walk down. The second exhibit is fashion and woman. Although in parts very progressive, it was extremely boring to me (and looking at the faces of most men accompanying their spouses too) but to astonishment very popular among women. Either woman got hypnotized upon entering the museum or I am just ignorant. There were no waiting lines and the the artifacts are perfectly curated and thus not overwhelming. Unlike my 2nd fav museum in the world, the MET. The Frick is def worth several visits. Although not allowed, i took some pics of the progressive fashion, i spare you the boring ones. Go see it yourself if you dont trust me 😁

What a treat to see the Frick's very formal collection of traditional art in a large and airy space. Open till Mar. 3, 2024 only but worth a visit. Free Saturday tours, free print guides to the collection, helpful guards who sound like Art PhDs.

Went for Barkley L. Hendricks show and was impressed not only by that exhibition but also the standard rotating Frick collection it was paired in contrast with. Also was pleased to see they encouraged free drawing with materials available for visitors on Fridays!

Fabulous collection in a fabulous building from 1966 by Marcel Breuer (1902-1981): the perfect combo. Many fantastic paintings by the likes of Vermeer, Rembrandt, Holbein, van Dyck, Boucher, Fragonard, Gainsborough, Romney, Ingres, Turner, Titian, El Greco, Goya, Whistler, Degas, Renoir, and many more. Don't miss the chance to see the Frick Collection in this unusual setting. The building itself is one of the greatest modern buildings in New York City with a staircase built for the ages. Update: the three fabulous Vermeers are back from Amsterdam. The new show of portraits by Barkley L. Hendricks (1945-2017) looks perfect among the old masters of the Frick. I also love the café in the basement, The SisterYard, which is a perfect place to relax after taking in the masterworks at the Frick.

Such an amazing museum, had such a wonderful experience there. The contrast of gorgeous old masters paintings with a stark brutalist building; absolutely beautiful. A must visit for all art and architecture lovers. A brilliant museum experience.

Final days of amazing private collection of traditional master art pieces by Henry C Frick in a contemporary building. Still very busy on a rainy Saturday. Helpful staff. Enjoyed a tour with a very knowledgeable docent. Bloomberg Connect app was very helpful. No photo or water allowed but you can leave it with coat check.

I have been to the Frick before. I admit it was mostly for the architecture of the mansion. They are currently in temporary quarters will renovating the mansion. I saw the paintings in a different light. Loved the Gainsborough!

Great art in a great building. I especially liked the cherub with the dagger going after a dove. What the Frick?!

The Frick Museum collection now temporarily at its Madison Avenue location will be closing in March. The museum will be moving back sometime towards the end of the year to its original stunning historical home at 1 East 70th Street. Meanwhile you can experience some of the beautiful art - paintings, ceramics, furniture, the exquisite collection of Jean-Honore Fragonard paintings, and sculpture (one of my favorites is the metal Angel on the second floor) until then. Accessible.

LOVED my first visit at The Frick! I came here solely for the Barkley L. Hendricks exhibit, which is absolutely INCREDIBLE! A total knockout, I highly recommend!

I must give it up for the front door staff!!! I visited on 12/14 around 1:30 PM and the Frick has the most memorable museum staff I’ve ever encountered. The young men were so polite and greeted everyone cheerfully.

The museum security was also very professional. One of the gentlemen gave me an awesome tip/note about the art which I appreciated because I was REALLY into the exhibit.

Very beautiful museum with some amazing pieces! I only wish that there was a video that accompanied the BLH exhibit. There’s only an audio recording, but you have to install an app to listen to it, which was more trouble than I cared to give.

I was there to see the Barkley Hendricks exhibit and it was amazing!

Anyplace in the world where it is possible to see 3 paintings by Johannes Vermeer, though to be honest only 2 of them are incredible Mistress and Maid- which could be called pensive Mistress with a Pearl Earing writing and receiving a note and Officer and Laughing Girl or alternatively Man with a big hat courting a girl with a nice smile with a map in the background- within walking distance of 2 amazing Hans Holbein paintings, Thomas More and Thomas Cromwell is a memorable experience. I miss the furniture of the regular museum though.

Had a great afternoon at the temp exhibit location. No photography allowed. The whole exhibit was easily walkable, with plenty of plenty of guides about each piece. Wonder how many of the portraiture are family pieces that used to decorate various European mansions.

I was amazed by their collection! I was so surprised to see so many famous pieces. The staff was so helpful and nice. They saw me using the Bloomberg app while I was walking around, and one of the staff gave me some tips for the app. I visited a lot of museums in NYC and this place had the friendliest people!
I went there on their pay-what-you-want day, you'll have to queue for a bit, but it is well organised.

Went to Madison Avenue location yesterday Incredible collection Bring head phones and download the free audio guide. The Frick guards are the best I’ve ever encountered. They are friendly and willing to share their perspective on each painting, and they’ve had lots of time to study each

Delightfully curated experience. Even though it’s a temporary location, the guide book provided is helpful and easy to use. Be warned that if you arrive at 5:00 for pay what you will hours, you will be kicked out at 5:45. They don’t joke around about closing on time!

Thursday from 4 to 6 pm “paid what you want” . On third floor Degas, Manet and Monet paints are a experience to see it. The North Indian carpets, with lotto flowers surrounding trees. On fourth floor detailed decorated tables, porcelain pieces, well conservative oil paints. Detailed sculptures. Impressive large oil paints of royal figures of Europe. Exquisite taste of Erick Madison to collect pieces of world history. Educative, Didactic, for all ages and genders. Personnel are gently and attend. Really space to spend more than two hours or two visit to enjoy your eyes and mind.

A superb collection in a stunning space. -- The Frick's Rembrandts and Fragonards shine in these spacious, modern, high-ceilinged rooms. Also, a wonderful coffee shop on the lower level.

Visited Cheng-Harrell Open Night and explored the galleries. Interesting Renaissance artworks, sculptures, clocks and home furnitures.
