In connection with his current installation at Frick Madison, artist Nicolas Party sits down for a conversation with Xavier F. Salomon, the Frick’s Deputy Director and Peter Jay Sharp Chief Curator. Party discusses the inspirations and themes that informed his mural, why he finds the ephemeral nature of his installations liberating, and his fascination with Rosalba Carriera, the “queen of pastel.”
Take a behind-the-scenes look at the making of Frick Madison’s new site-specific mural by Nicolas Party.
To create the mural, the artist took inspiration from the history of pastels and from the Frick’s Portrait of a Man in Pilgrim’s Costume by Rosalba Carriera.
