Description
The Frick Art Reference Library has been a cornerstone of art history for over a century. This unique collection looks back at its 100-year legacy through 100 objects, revealing not just the library's extensive collections, but also its spaces, artworks and the people who shaped it.
From books and photographs to the stories of those who worked there, such as Helen Clay Frick herself and her French agent Madame Brière, this collection offers a fascinating glimpse into the library's innovative approach to art history. With contributions from librarians like Pauline Wells and Doriece Colle, this book is a must-have for anyone interested in the intersection of art, culture and history.
