NEW YORK, NY.- The Frick Collection announced today that it will reopen in April 2025, following the renovation and enhancement by Selldorf Architects of its historic Fifth Avenue home. The landmark occasion will invite visitors to experience the museum’s permanent collection anew, with its iconic masterworks reinstalled in restored spaces on the first floor, along with rarely exhibited and recently acquired works shown in a new suite of galleries on the mansion’s second floor, open to the public for the first time. The Frick Art Research Library and its refurbished Reading Room will reopen concurrently with the museum, with brand-new entry points on multiple levels that enable a seamless integration of the institution’s two branches.

The Frick’s inaugural season will feature a slate of special installations and exciting public programs throughout the opening months in its revitalized buildings. These include a special commission by sculptor and ceramicist Vladimir Kanevsky of porcelain flowers that pay homage to the floral arrangements made for the Frick’s original opening, in 1935. In late April, the Frick will introduce the Stephen A. Schwarzman Auditorium with a weeklong music festival featuring both classical and contemporary works. And in June, the museum’s new first-floor special exhibition galleries will be inaugurated with Vermeer’s Love Letters, which continues the Frick’s tradition of focused presentations that re-examine masterworks from its permanent collection.

Stated Ian Wardropper, the Frick’s outgoing Anna-Maria and Stephen Kellen Director, “As we look ahead to reopening our doors, we are excited to welcome visitors back to enjoy what makes the Frick such a unique museum within the cultural landscape of New York City. The intimate encounters with art offered by our historic galleries, along with new spaces transformed from former domestic interiors, remain a cornerstone of the Frick experience. These spaces have been enhanced thanks to the efforts of the architects, artisans, preservation experts, curators, and many others who have made our historic renovation and enhancement project a reality. We are especially honored and gratified by the extraordinarily generous support of donors to this project, the most important in our history.”

Added Elizabeth M. Eveillard, Chair of the Board of Trustees, “The Frick’s reopening is an invitation to all New Yorkers and art lovers from around the world to discover—or rediscover—incredible works of art from our permanent collection, displayed in the painstakingly restored setting of our historic home. Following this long-awaited unveiling, we look forward to giving our audiences the opportunity to experience several newly constructed spaces through signature Frick initiatives, namely a classical concert series and a focused presentation featuring Vermeer’s beloved Mistress and Maid.”
