A display of works on paper from the Frick's permanent collection will inaugurate the new Cabinet gallery. These sheets are rarely on view due to their sensitivity to light. The selection of twelve works range from sketches to highly finished independent works of art by artists such as Pisanello, Rubens, Goya, and Degas, spanning the fifteenth through nineteenth centuries and complementing the museum's holdings of paintings, sculpture, and decorative arts.
This installation is generously funded by The Gilbert & Ildiko Butler Family Foundation, Inc.
