| Seminars
During the fall of 2006 Professor Jonathan Brown conducted a graduate seminar for New York University Institute of Fine Arts students on Henry Clay Frick and Gilded Age Collecting, for which the expertise of the Library, Archives and Curatorial staffs of the Frick was tapped to make presentations, share in planning the course syllabus, bibliography, and student project topics. Seminars of this kind are important because they encourage students to use primary documents in their research, as, for example, the Helen Clay Frick Foundation Archives.
An undergraduate seminar on Collecting in America was offered jointly by The Fine Arts Department and Museum Studies program of NYU and the Frick in 2008.
In time, the Frick expects to offer seminars on the History of Collecting in America for which credit at several area graduate programs would be granted. |
