I hate change but sometimes it’s better to embrace it rather than fight it. Today I previewed the temporary location of the @frickcollection in the Marcel Breuer building on Madison Avenue. I’ve always liked the warmth of the materials used in this Brutalist building and I can’t think of a better place for the collection to reside while the mansion on 70th Street is under renovation for the next two years. They really did an amazing job placing the art, sculpture, objects, and furniture in the best locations throughout the three floors. It opens to the public on March 18 and advance reservations are required. I hope you’ll give this change a chance before you dismiss it. You can see my full tour in Stories. #frickmadison #frickcollection #uppereastside #changeisgood #art #nyc (at Frick Madison) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMA30hTDCr0/?igshid=13u69cru9o0sg

What the Frick?!? We finally get to visiting the #FrickMadison and I stupidly take some pictures before I realize you shouldn’t. 🤦‍♀️ these are The Four Seasons by Boucher. In "Spring." a youth adorns his lover's hair with flowers. A group of voluptuous bathing nudes represents "Summer." In "Autumn." a young man offers a bunch of grapes to his fashionable beloved. And in "Winter," Boucher showcases a frosty background, vividly evoking the silence of a landscape buried under snow. But my favorites were Jean-Honoré Fragonard's Progress of Love, a series of canvases depicting the four stages of love. They’re so sweet and floral and romantic. .... #UnderGlassCollection #ShoeDaydreams #CuratedCloset #TheClosedDoorCollection #SophisticatedPrecious #TheCarnelianKitten #art #artist #exhibit #museum #madisonavenue #frickmuseum #fragonard @frickcollection (at Frick Madison) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnLTMpcubrB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Johannes Vermeer's 'Officer and Laughing Girl' (c. 1657) is reproduced from ⁠'The Sleeve Should Be Illegal & Other Reflections on Art @frickcollection ' co-published with @delmonico_books ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Judith Thurman writes, "When feminists bridle at 'the male gaze,' they are less troubled, I think, by the fact that male artists have looked at women with lust or, at the other extreme, with a worshipful disregard for their carnality than by their habit of regarding us complacently. Complacency is the nemesis of attunement: the effort to vibrate in time and space, in art or life, with another being. When people speak of Vermeer’s 'genius for intimacy,' I think that vibration is what they sense. Spatially and socially, 'Officer and Laughing Girl' represents an unequal encounter both within the frame and within the society the figures inhabit. Yet despite the soldier’s exaggerated scale and density, the swagger of his pose, and the richness of his garb, Vermeer subordinates him and treats him generically. Is he not also mocking conspicuous virility? Does he not suggest that the silhouette defines the man? Then what of the girl, so vibrantly an individual? Vermeer, it is true, invites us to imagine how the soldier regards her—probably as a conquest. Yet he himself humbly refuses to possess her. Thus neither can we. She belongs to herself."⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Read more via linkinbio.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Edited by Michaelyn Mitchell. Foreword by Adam Gopnik.
