Still Lifes on the Move
The next time you visit The Frick Art Museum (maybe before A Sporting Vision closes on September 8), be sure to visit the Jacobean Room for a rare treat. For a short time, we have created a beautiful installation of still lifes from across the collection, including three paintings that are normally displayed at Clayton, a photograph that was brought out of storage, and a recently acquired video work.
