Report of the PresidentMargotBogert
I twasmygreathonorthisyeartosucceed
myfriendHelenClayChaceaspresident
of The Frick Collection. In my tribute to
her in last winter’s Members’ Magazine, I
detailedsomeofthemanyaccomplishments
ofhertenurefromApril2000 toDecember
2005.Inshort,shehashandedmethereins
of an institution that is financially healthy,
whosecollectionsarelovinglydisplayedand
caredfor,whoseexhibitionsarevibrant,and
whoseLibraryplaysan importantpart ina
large and diverse international community.
Above all, she set an example of grace and
refinementthatisareflectionoftheinstitu-
tionitself.WearefortunatethatHelenClay
willcontinuetobeinvolvedwiththeFrickas
PresidentEmerita.
During the past twelve months, I was
pleased to welcome two new members to
the board: Martha Loring—Helen Clay’s
daughter, who will help carry on the fam-
ily tradition of support for the Collection
andLibrary—andAgnesGund,whobrings
a lifetime’s passion for the visual arts to
the Frick.While both have a deep personal
understandingofthequalitiesthatmakethe
Frickspecial,eachbringsafreshperspective
totheinstitutionthatwillhelpcarryusfor-
wardaswelooktothefuture.
Having just two years ago made the
transition from private foundation to pub-
lic charity, a status that requires us to raise
a substantial portion of our annual bud-
get from donations, membership fees, and
other income beyond our endowment, the
Fricknowconfrontssteeplyincreasedneeds
for fundraising, an art in which our sister
institutions in New York have had decades
of experience. The overwhelming response
to our efforts to secure public support has
beenaneloquentexpressionoftheextentto
whichourfriendsholdtheFrickdear.
So it is that this past year has been
financiallyoneofthestrongestintheFrick’s
history, with overall growth in contribu-
tionsamountingto26percent.TheAutumn
DinnerinOctober2005providedanauspi-
cious start to the season: proceeds for the
event—pronounced“themostelegantparty
oftheyear”byThe New York Times—totaled
more than $750,000, almost double that of
thepreviousyear.Indeed,netproceedsfrom
allofourevents(includingfundsgenerated
bytheYoungFellowsBallinMarchandthe
InternationalFineArtFairinMay)increased
by52.9percent.
While social events bring visibility to
the institution, I confess that it is the
more quiet philanthropy that I find the
mostheartening.Unrestrictedcontributions
fromindividualsgrewfromabout$770,000
to $1,025,000, an increase of 33 percent,
owing in large part to the success of the
Director’sCircle,agroupofourmostsup-
portive friends, informed and discerning
advocatesofTheFrickCollectionwhoare
dedicated to maintaining the high stan-
dards of the institution. Funding for exhi-
bitions,thejewelintheFrick’scrown,grew
morethanfivefold, from$218,000 tosome
$1,219,000, providing support for the bril-
liantly received Memling, Goya, Liotard,
andVeroneseshows.
Asmyinauguralyearaspresidentcomes
to a close, I would like to offer my sincere
thanks to my colleagues on the Board of
Trustees,whohavewelcomedmewarmly;to
AnnePouletandthededicatedprofessionals
who work at the Frick and give it their all;
to the members of the Frick Council and
theYoungFellowsSteeringCommittee,who

especially, to those of you listed in the fol-
lowingpages,whohavesupportedtheFrick
during the past twelve months. You are all

tiontocontinuetoembodythequalitiesthat
make it a treasure for NewYorkers and for

Report of the DirectorAnneL.Poulet
T hosewhohavehadthepleasureofvis-
itingTheFrickCollectioninthepast
twelve months—or who have read about it
in the newspapers and journals that report
onart—knowthatithasbeenaveryspecial
yearinthelifeoftheinstitution.Inthepages
that follow, you will read about the many
exhibitions,educationalprograms,scholarly
activities, and events that took place at the
Frickduringthisperiod.
Our fall 2005 exhibition of twenty of
the surviving portrait paintings by the
Netherlandish Renaissance painter Hans
Memling—a large number of which had
never before been seen on this side of the
Atlantic—openedtobothpopularandcriti-
calacclaim.Followingtheshowwasamid-
winter exhibition of works by Francisco de
Goya, an unflinching look at his brilliant
and innovative oeuvre as he grappled with
old age, poor health, exile, and family con-
flict; it was the first in the United States to
concentrate exclusively on the final phase
of the artist’s career. In late June, the Frick
openedanexhibition featuring theworkof
Jean-ÉtienneLiotard,aneighteenth-century
Swisspainterrenownedforhisportraitsand
pastels, until then little known and rarely
seeninAmerica.
These and other special exhibitions, all
inspiredbyworksinourpermanentcollec-
tion,demonstratethattheFrickisnotsimply
arepositoryofobjectsbutalivingmuseum
that continues to stimulate scholarship, to
illuminateourknowledgeofarthistory,and
to enliven our experiences. For those who
wonder about the future of an institution
thatfocusesontheartofthepast,weanswer:
artshowsuswherewehavecomefrom,who
weare,andhowwefeelaboutourselvesand
theworldaroundus.
This year, three important acquisitions
were made by gift and by purchase. The
Quentin Foundation gave the Frick Pietà
with Two Mourning Putti, asuperbterracotta
by the Florentine sculptor Massimiliano
Soldani-Benzi, and Eugene V. Thaw made
a promised gift of a magnificent marble
portrait bust, Madame His, by the great
eighteenth-century French sculptor Jean-
AntoineHoudon,anartistwhoseworkwas
admired by both Henry Clay Frick and his
daughter Helen Clay Frick. In March, with
fundsfromtheWinthropEdeyBequest,the
Frick purchased The Dance of Time: Three
Nymphs Supporting a Clock by Lepaute. This
masterpiece of terracotta was created in
1788 by the celebrated sculptor Clodion,
with the attached mounted clock designed
by Jean-André Lepaute. The Dance of Time
was cleaned in preparation for its debut in
thegalleries,andtheLepauteclockisnowin

extraordinary objects enrich the visitor’s
experience while blending seamlessly with
ourexistingcollection.

outstanding small exhibitions, and not only
for the rarity of its contents. The show is
some kind of ideal experience.” In order to
accommodate the public’s great interest in
this exhibition, gallery hours were extended
to8:00onFridayevenings.
We followed the success of Memling’s

ings, paintings, miniatures on ivory, and
lithographs. Goya’s Last Works was enthusi-
asticallyreviewedbyMichaelKimmelmanof
The New York Times, whonoted,“Thecom-
pact Frick show is sublime.... I can’t recall
too many exhibitions on this scale more
revelatory.” A study day was held in early
May, during which a group of forty cura-
tors, conservators, and academics discussed
current research on the artist and explored
issues raised by the exhibition. A catalogue
publishedinassociationwithYaleUniversity

five-year history of the Frick Art
ReferenceLibrary, eachofwhichdeveloped

Encouragedbytheenthusiasticendorse-
ment of participants at the 2005 collo-
quium on establishing the Center for the
HistoryofCollectinginAmerica,theLibrary
sought and received a planning grant from
the Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation to
define the organization of the Center, to be
located at the Frick Art Reference Library.
DeCourcy E. McIntosh was named consul-
tantinFebruaryand,overaperiodofseveral
months,numerousexpertsandpotentialcol-
laboratorswereinterviewedtohelparticulate
the Center’s agenda, which will be executed
asfundingbecomesavailable.Theprograms
willincludefellowships,seminars,symposia,
and research tools, in particular, an online
directory of archives of collectors and deal-
ers. These initiatives build on the Library’s
successful research program, instituted nine
years ago by Inge Reist, director-designate
oftheCenter,withgraduateschoolorienta-
tions and workshops, Library exhibitions,
andpaneldiscussions.Thisyear’sDialogues
onArt, a benefit event for the Library held
in May and co-sponsored with Knoedler &
Company,focusedonthegoalsoftheCenter.
Thepaneldiscussion,“HouseMuseums:The
IntersectionofPublicandPrivateCollecting,”
wasmoderatedbyJosephRishel,seniorcura-
tor of European painting and sculpture at
the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and was
complementedbyaLibraryexhibition,Home
Is Where the Art Is: House Museums.
Another first for the Library was the
establishmentoftheNewYorkArtResources
Consortium (nyarc), a partnership of the
FrickArtReferenceLibraryandthelibraries
of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The
Museum of ModernArt, and the Brooklyn
Museum. With support from the Andrew
W. Mellon Foundation, an extensive plan
of action was outlined for the four librar-
ies thatmakeupthecoreofwhatpromises
to become a larger collaboration. The plan
laid the foundation for ambitious yet cost-
efficientprogramsandservicesthatminimize
duplication of effort, offset the increasing
subscription rates for electronic resources,
and, through swift document and digital
delivery, improveaccesstosharedresources

first joint effort began this summer with

nals) and a Mellon-funded feasibility study
on the digitizing and delivery of rare and

By far, the most important purchase was

National Academy Museum in New York.
Chief Archivist Sally Brazil interviewed and
recordedDr.WilliamTurnerLevy’s recollec-
tions of his close friend Frederick Mortimer
Clapp, thefirstdirectorofTheFrickCollec-
tion,fortheoralhistoryprogram.
Rarely do library conservation depart-
ments take on the challenge of the design
and production of exhibitions and bro-
chures, yet this has become an exciting
newelementofthatdepartment’sactivities.
Duringtheyear,DonSwansonandhisstaff
designed and installed the House Museums
exhibit in the Library vestibules and also
produced the handsome itinerary booklets
for the October trip to the LoireValley co-
organizedwith theFrenchHeritageSociety
andforthedirector’sGoya Promenadestudy
triptoMadridandBordeauxinNovember.
I cannot overstate the ongoing impor-
tanceoftheinformationsystemsdepartment
totheinstitutionasawhole.Underthelead-
ership of Floyd Sweeting, this department
provides state-of-the-art support and ser-
vices forcommunicationsandfor informa-
tion and image management, including the
designandproductionof theFrick’shighly
praisedwebsite.Thewebsitewasredesigned
thisyear tomakeanaward-winningvirtual
destination even more appealing and ser-
viceable for online membership, shopping,
and concert ticketing. In addition, all the
Collection’s works of art are now acces-
sible online and include detailed zoomable
images, location updates, and links to the
Virtual Tour. As a result of these improve-
ments,visits to thewebsitehavemore than
doubledinthelastyear.
Consultation with colleagues engaged
in comparable projects both in the United
States and Europe is ongoing and ensures
compatibility among like-minded institu-
tions. To this end, Inge Reist’s election in
October 2005 to the chairmanship of the
Association of Research Institutes in Art
History not only raises the Frick’s profile
butalsoelicitsusefulinformationaboutthe
potentialforfuturecollaborations.
As I observe the ever-increasing num-
ber of researchers crossing the Library’s
threshold each year, I marvel at the variety
of professional interests represented as well
as the diverse ways in which our materials
areused.Thesevisitors—betheyacademics,
journalists, collectors, art dealers, curators,
connoisseurs, or curious amateurs—rarely
fail to acknowledge the uniqueness of our
resourcesandthe invaluableassistancethey
receive from the Library’s exceptional staff,
working with the public both directly and
behind the scenes. I consider myself fortu-
natetobesurroundedbysuchtalent.
