THE FRICK COLLECTION TO REOPEN APRIL 17, 2025

Selldorf Architects, January 28, 2025

The Frick Collection announced that it will reopen to the public on April 17, 2025, following the sensitive renovation and enhancement of its historic Fifth Avenue home. Selldorf Architects as Design Architect, with Beyer Blinder Belle Architects and Planners as Executive Architect, have been working on the project since 2016. The project was developed to honor the historic legacy and character of the Frick while addressing critical infrastructure and operational needs.

“It has been an honor and privilege to work on the Frick renovation and enhancement project,” stated Annabelle Selldorf, principal of Selldorf Architects. “We have worked carefully to develop an architectural vocabulary for the project that is continuous with the existing historic fabric yet employs distinct but appropriate contemporary detailing in the façades and interiors. I believe that this careful blending of old and new will make people feel even more welcome as they return to, or discover for the first time, the Frick, its collection, and its beautiful setting.”

The Frick’s inaugural season highlights include the opening of its second-floor galleries, showcasing new collections and intimate spaces, along with a spring music festival and special exhibitions. Notable displays include rare drawings, porcelain sculptures by Vladimir Kanevsky, and a unique Vermeer show.
