In honor of the reopening of The Frick Collections renovated Fifth Avenue buildings, which occurred on April 17, the museum is presenting an installation of commissioned porcelain sculptures throughout its restored and newly built galleries. The display pays homage to a historical detail from the Fricks original debut, which featured carefully curated floral arrangements, personally selected by Helen Clay Frick, daughter of the museums founder, that enhanced key galleries when they were unveiled to the public in 1935. Inspired by her vision, this tradition is now reimagined with an installation of porcelain sculptures by artist Vladimir Kanevsky (b. 1951, Ukraine). Shown on both levels of the original Frick mansion, including in a suite of new second-floor galleries open to the public for the first time, the 19 lifelike installations by Kanevsky will remain on view for six months. As we reopen the Frick after a five-year closure, it felt only fitting to celebrate the occasion in a similar fashion to the 1935 opening, stated Xavier F. Salomon, deputy director and Peter Jay Sharp Chief Curator, who organized the installation. Vladimir Kanevskys exquisite porcelain creations allow us to honor this tradition, along with the museums important collections of historic porcelain and ceramics. His artistry bridges past and present, echoing the museums long-standing dedication to beauty and innovation. It is an honor to have my work featured during and beyond the Fricks reopening celebrations. The museum, both presently and throughout its history, is an endless source of inspiration, added Kanevsky. The Frick Collection is located at 1 E. 70th St., New York, N.Y.
