New York’s Frick Collection located within Manhattan’s Museum Mile on 5th Avenue has planned to undergo a $195 million renovation. Overseen by Selldorf Architects the renovation will insure thousands of additional square feet to expand exhibitions displayed within the Museum. The Frick Collection is currently closed due to renovations and is planning to reopen in late 2024.
While extra space and renovations are not the only change within the Frick Collections infrastructure, the previous chairman of the Met’s European Paintings & Sculpture and current Director of The Frick Collection since 2011, Ian Wardroper has announced his departure from the institution due 2025.
During the announcement, Ian stated “These fourteen years at the Frick will have been among the most rewarding of my career. From the first strategic plan developed together with The collection Frick’s dedicated Trustees and talented staff, we identified our aspirations and priorities and committed to the values and programs that make The Frick Collection unique. It has been a great privilege to realize these initiatives during my tenure, the reopening of our upgraded buildings being a highlight among many. Following my retirement from the Frick, I look forward to working on a number of scholarly and academic projects.”
