End of the Year Museum Shows: The Jewish Museum and the Frick

It is almost the end of the year, and while most galleries are closed this week museums like The Jewish Museum and The Frick Collection have wonderful exhibitions on view. 

The Jewish Museum currently has an exhibition up titled Helen Rubinstein: Beauty is Power. This is the first exhibition to explore the ideas, innovations, and influence of the legendary cosmetics entrepreneur Helena Rubinstein (1872 – 1965). Through 200 objects Beauty Is Power reveals how Rubinstein’s unique style and pioneering approaches to business challenged conservative taste and heralded a modern notion of beauty, democratized and accessible to all.

Over at The Frick Collection their Winter exhibition Masterpieces from the Scottish National Gallery is on view. The group of ten paintings, which have been loaned to the Frick by the Scottish National Gallery, include a Botticelli, a Watteau, and a Constable. Also on view is John Singer Sargent's famous work Lady Agnew of Lochnaw, which was offered to the Frick Collection for purchase but was declined and instead ended up in Scotland. The arresting portrait of Lady Agnew is prominently placed at the end of the East Gallery and is definitely the star of the show.
