Abstract

The Frick Collection, a renowned museum in New York, recently underwent a five-year, $220 million restoration and expansion overseen by architect Annabelle Selldorf. The museum welcomed new leadership with director Axel Rüger and curators Aimee Ng and Marie-Laure Buku Pongo, the institution's first curators of color. The museum's transformation includes increased gallery space, a public café, and a dedicated education center, while also maintaining its iconic works and engaging with contemporary artists. The Frick Collection's renewed and expanded presence reflects a blend of historical preservation and modern innovation, inviting visitors to experience its rich legacy in a new light.
