Museum curatorial and conservation staff conduct research on the collections, their context, and provenance.
Temporary exhibitions, which often include artworks borrowed from other institutions that relate to items in The Frick Collection, are an important form of research and constitute original contributions to the field of art history. Exhibitions are also opportunities to share the results of curatorial research. Normally, exhibitions are accompanied by publications, a lecture program, and an international study day.
Conservation staff are continually researching the construction and history of objects in The Frick Collection, as well as past and possible future treatments. They disseminate the results in talks, conference papers, and publications.
The Anne L. Poulet Curatorial Fellows contribute to collection and exhibition research and help organize the Frick and Institute of Fine Arts, New York University, Symposium on the History of Art.
The Stephen K. and Janie Woo Scher Fellows conduct research on the study of commemorative portrait medals and related fields.
