The Frick Collection 8.1.25

I visited The Frick Collection located on the corner of E 70th Street and Fifth Avenue - a stones throw from The Met last week.

Here I am outside prior to meeting up with the rest of our party. The Frick does not allow photography inside. So the images shared of galleries were from on-line sources including The Frick Collection and internet searches. I was able to capture a few images while enjoying drinks at the Westmoreland cafe on the second floor of the Frick Collection.

Henry Clay Frick (1849–1919) bequeathed his home, paintings, sculptures, and decorative arts to the public for their enjoyment.

THE WEST GALLERY

OVAL ROOM

The Oval room has several John McNeill Whister works - one of my favorites is Harmony in Pink and Grey: Portrait of Lady Meux; then the Garden Court.

The Garden Court

We visited the wonderful Vermeer’s Love Letters exhibit. To view three works by Vermeer is extraordinary.

We wound our way through the second floor galleries.

The Boucher Room

The Walnut Room

Westmoreland Cafe takes its name from the private rail car Henry Clay Frick purchased in 1910, naming it after the Pennsylvania county of his birth.

We all enjoyed a yummy French 75.

I purchased this book to always remember the Frick and the wonderful art.

Then we were off to dinner at David Burke Tavern 135 E. 62ND Street.

David Burke greeted guests. Dinner was a delight!

It was a marvelous day! So blessed to spend this time with family and friends. Til next time friends be well and I’ll see you over on Instagram.

Metropolitan Museum of Art 7.26.25

Friends I was in the city this past Saturday with my sister and my besties with the purpose of visiting the Met to view the John Singer Sargent exhibition Sargent & Paris again before it closes August 3rd.

The Daughters of Edward Darley Boit

In the Luxembourg Gardens

Madame X is featured in an entire gallery.

Discussing the work Dr. Pozzi at Home

This installation offers the viewer a look at how the Salon of Paris exhibited works. The video populates works by subject in black and white and then you finally see the full wall in color.

After Sargent we toured the Impressionist. Here is Garden at Sainte-Adresse by Monet a piece I must view during every visit to the Met.

The Met will be undertaking a multi-year renovation and the roof will be closed for the next 4 years! We will miss the views and the libation.

I love visiting The Robert Lehman Collection.

We sat in the American Wing admiring the Tiffany studio 3-part Garden landscape window for Linden Hall

We walked to Bemelmans Bar for a bit. Always a great idea!

Sargent: The Masterworks is a book I think every Sargent fan should own.

I’ve listed past Met articles below. Til next time friends be well and I’ll see you on Instagram!
