The major fall exhibition at Frick Madison (the temporary home of The Frick Collection during renovation of its historic buildings) presents the largest and most significant promised gift of drawings and pastels in the institutions history. Assembled by Elizabeth Betty and Jean-Marie Eveillard, avid collectors of drawings and pastels, the exhibition includes European works ranging in date from the end of the 15th century to the 20th century and representing artists working in France, Britain, Italy, Spain, and the Netherlands. The 26 works include some of the couples finest acquisitions: 18 drawings, five pastels, two prints, and one oil sketch. Along with preparatory figurative sketches and independent studies and portraits are two vivid landscape scenes. Artists represented come from the same schools that attracted Henry Clay Frick as a collector, many of whom are represented in the permanent collection: Franois Boucher, Edgar Degas, Jean-Honor Fragonard, Francisco Jos de Goya y Lucientes, Thomas Lawrence, and Jean-Franois Millet. The gift also introduces to the museums holdings works by artists not previously represented, including Gustave Caillebotte, Maurice Quentin de La Tour, Jan Lievens, John Singer Sargent, and Elisabeth Vige Le Brun. The Eveillard Gift is organized by Xavier F. Salomon, the Fricks deputy director and Peter Jay Sharp Curator; curator Aimee Ng; and Giulio Dalvit, assistant curator of sculpture, and will be accompanied by a catalogue and public programs. We are thrilled to share examples from the remarkable collection of two longtime supporters of the Frick, assembled just as our own holdings have been, according to criteria of beauty, quality, and condition. The Eveillards describe themselves as emotional collectors, meaning that every work they have acquired spoke deeply to them. We hope this presentation of their transformative gift will engage our visitors as deeply, comments Salomon. Betty and Jean-Marie Eveillard have been involved with the Frick for many years, both having served as trustees. Betty is currently the boards chair. Frick Madison is located at 945 Madison Ave. in New York City. For more information, visit www.frick.org.
