Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Mother and Children (1876). Photo by Ben Davis.
FOR YEARS THIS PAINTING WAS ON A LANDING AND NOT IN CLEAR VIEW AT THE MANSION. NOW IS IN PLAIN SIGHT!

THE FRICK HAS RELOCATED FROM IT’S CLASSICAL
MANSION ON FIFTH AVENUE FOR THE NEXT FEW YEARS WHILE THE MANSION IS RENOVATED AND UPGRADED.

IN THE MEANTIME THE ARTWORK IS DISPLAYED
IN THE BREUER MODERNIST BUILDING ON MADISON AVENUE.

ENJOY THE SIGHT OF THE GRAND ARTWORK IN IT’S NEW ENVIRONMENT.
(TIMED TICKETS AVAILABLE ON-LINE)

Only Ed Litcher got it.
