Frick Collection

The Frick Collection has opened a window into 18th century French high taste through Gouthière’s creative genius. The exhibition, Pierre Gouthière: Virtuoso Gilder at the French Court, is on view, along with a series of programs, through Feb. 19, 2017.

It’s a small show comprising only 10 works, but manages to represent a microcosm of European painting.

A close study of El Greco and Pulzone, and their sitters, opens at the Frick Collection.

The Frick Collection, known for its old master paintings and European sculpture, said Tuesday it is planning a major renovation that would expand the art museum by 42,000 square feet and open a second floor to the public for the first time.

Taking photos gives us the false sense of recording a visual experience and renders the visit little better than browsing the museum’s online catalog.
