Frick Collection: The Historic Interiors
Frick Collection: The Historic Interiors documents the iconic New York museum's rooms and architecture, preserving the Gilded Age mansion that houses one of America's finest art collections. Through stunning photography and scholarly essays, the book explores how the Frick's domestic setting shapes the viewing experience. The volume becomes both architectural study and meditation on how we display art, proving that museum spaces are as important as what they contain and that the Frick represents a vanishing approach to collecting.
WHY WE PICKED IT: Because the Frick is one of New York's treasures, and this book captures why experiencing art in a mansion feels different from white cube galleries. This volume reminds us that architecture shapes how we see art, that Gilded Age taste was excessive and fascinating, and that some museums are time capsules.
