The Frick Collection: Mansion to Museum

In this lecture, Ian Wardropper, Director Emeritus of The Frick Collection, will explore the role of Henry Clay Frick’s houses in the development of his art collection, as well as the recent renovation and expansion of 1 East 70th Street to better accommodate the museum’s holdings and audiences. Each of Frick’s residences reflected and influenced his collecting, beginning with Clayton, his first house in Pittsburgh, and continuing with Eagle Rock, his summer home; the William H. Vanderbilt House, which he rented; and finally the famous New York edifice.
