NEW YORK, NY.- The Frick Collection today announced a major three-year sponsorship by Louis Vuitton. Beginning this month, the House will be a principal cultural sponsor at the Frick, providing vital funding for several important initiatives: three major special exhibitions; one year of Louis Vuitton First Fridays, extending the museum’s ongoing series of monthly free evenings; and the creation of a two-year staff position, the Louis Vuitton Curatorial Research Associate.

The sponsorship will follow the House’s presentation of its Cruise 2027 show in a series of the Frick’s first-floor galleries on Wednesday, May 20, a private event involving a few days of museum closure.

Commented Axel Rüger, the Frick’s Anna-Maria and Stephen Kellen Director, “We are thrilled to engage with Louis Vuitton in such a meaningful and sustaining way. The House’s commitment to cultural experiences of the highest quality aligns well with our own, and this sponsorship over the next three years will provide critical funding for three integral areas of the museum’s mission: exhibitions, public programming, and art historical research. We are grateful for this unique support from one of the world’s leading fashion houses, which will enable many of the Frick’s important future offerings in this new chapter following our renovation.”

Stated Pietro Beccari, CEO of Louis Vuitton, “We are happy to announce Louis Vuitton’s three-year sponsorship of The Frick Collection, following our Cruise 2027 show spearheaded by Nicolas Ghesquière, which perfectly embodies the House’s enduring commitment to culture and heritage. Nicolas’s vision for the Cruise collections, consistently presented at extraordinary locations, enables us to create deeper connections between fashion, architecture, and culture. This sponsorship at the Frick not only reinforces Louis Vuitton’s dedication to supporting the arts but also illustrates how such exceptional venues become integral to the Louis Vuitton story, enriching our narrative with each collection.”
