Frick Collection

The Frick Collection is temporarily on view at the Breuer-designed building at 945 Madison Avenue at 75th Street, while its historic buildings on East 70th Street undergo extensive restoration and expansion. Striking a balance between tradition and innovation, the installation at Frick Madison will depart from the Frick’s customary presentation style in a domestic setting and instead organize works chronologically and by region.

The Frick’s collections, programs, a reading room and staff will be housed at "Frick Madison" through March 3, 2024. 

The Frick Collection anticipates the reopening of its renovated historic buildings on East 70th Street in late 2024.

Artists in the collection include Rembrandt, Giovanni Bellini, El Greco, Goya, Frans Hals, Vermeer, Boucher, Fragonard, Gainsborough, Sir Joshua Reynolds, J.M.W.Turner, Whistler, Severo da Ravenna, and Houdon.
