| Portraits, Pastels, Prints: Whistler in The Frick CollectionJune 2, 2009- August 23, 2009
Between 1914 and 1919, Henry Clay Frick acquired twenty works by James McNeill Whistler: five paintings, three pastels, and twelve prints, a remarkable ensemble that represents the breadth of Whistler’s artistic activity and testifies to Frick’s taste as a collector.
During the exhibition, the museum’s four full-length portraits and single evocative seascape by Whistler will be displayed in the Oval Room; in the Cabinet, twelve etchings and three pastels from his Venetian sojourn of 1879–80 will be brought together for the first time in more than twenty years. Dating from 1866 to 1892, these works demonstrate the continuity of Whistler’s aesthetic concerns across three distinct media.
