$160 Million Renovation and Expansion Approved for Fifth Avenue Mansion

The Frick Collection Returns Home

 

The Frick Collection will be returning to its historic Fifth Avenue mansion in 2024 after vacating its Brutalist temporary home on Madison Avenue. The institution has revealed details of its return, which includes a $160 million renovation and expansion designed by Annabelle Selldorf.

The Frick's residency at the Marcel Breuer-designed building has been productive, and the institution has welcomed new audiences and inspired longstanding supporters through thought-provoking installations, new publications, and innovative programming. The final rounds of programming at the Frick Madison will include a site-specific pastel mural by Nicolas Party and an exhibition of portraits by Barkley L. Hendricks. Additionally, an exhibition showcasing Giovanni Bellini´s St Francis in the Desert and Giorgione's Three Philosophers will be on display.

After undergoing several revisions, the Frick's plan to renovate its namesake industrialists opulent home was approved and the mansion will reopen to the public in late 2024.
