The falloff in atten- dance was the most dramatic of many effects to ripple through the institution, and between September and December, we lost more than $ million in revenue budgeted for . This situation exacerbated the finan- cial difficulties brought on by recession and a withering stock market. Only through stringent belt-tightening and aggressive fiscal management were we able to close the books with a nearly balanced bottom line, as the financial statements on pages  and  attest. These effects will certainly be with us in the year to come. I extend my personal thanks to the Trustees of The Frick Collection who are more dedicated than ever to Minturn V.

The Frick Collection. Also, we are heartened by the broadening base of contributors who enhance our activities in so many ways. In that regard, we were particularly pleased, last January, at our annual Henry Clay Frick Fellows Dinner, to be able to recognize Eugene V. Thaw, one of those persons who has steadfastly supported—often quietly and behind the scenes—a wide range of programs at The Frick Collection, throughout the city, and around  For much of last year, the Fifth Avenue Garden of The Frick Collection was surrounded by an imposing fence, which boldly announced “ Restoration.” While a few people telephoned to ask if this meant that the Collection was closed to the public, most were not discouraged, and through the first eight months of the year a great many visitors lined up in record numbers to view the galleries and our three memorable exhibitions. When the fence came down late in the winter, Report of many were surprised to discover that they were unable to discern much change. Indeed, often when an his- the Director toric landmark is restored, the most costly improve- ments are virtually invisible—gutters, roofs, foundation walls—all essential but very much behind the scenes. In this case, upon closer examination, one Samuel Sachs II  discovered that the beautiful but rusting wrought-iron fence designed by William H. Jackson had been painstakingly restored, and the limestone walls, which were previously cracked, seeping water, and patched together, were solid once again. Following the tragic events of September , these renewed signs of our permanence and longevity were most welcome. While the exterior was being restored, we were sim- ilarly engaged in preserving and restoring the collec- tions and rooms. Some of the projects resulted in quite visible changes to the galleries. The opening up of the Boucher Room, following a beautiful restora- tion of its eighteenth-century parquet floor, allows close examination of the charming panels for the first time. Additionally, the removal of the stanchions in the West Gallery and its subsequent reorganization have served to open that space and give greater promi- nence to our superb collection of Renaissance bronze sculpture. Another subtle but equally important project was the re-creation of the draperies in the Fragonard Room. Based on the original designs—and similarly woven by the firm of Prelle in Lyon—the new draperies, fringe, and tasseled tie-backs have brought renewed brilliance to that gallery. We are grateful to Brooke Astor for generously helping to make this possible.  Refurbishing the galleries is just one of the priori- ties identified in the space-planning component of our strategic plan. Below stairs we have been actively pursuing a host of other initiatives that are key to the furtherance of our mission. In addition to basic preservation and safety issues, we are particularly focused on those aspects of the buildings that limit our programs, and we are eager to find solutions to such diverse issues as the need for better education, conservation, and exhibition spaces, and the finite shelving in an ever-growing Library. As we enhance our quality and scope in each arena, furthering our mission of excellence, the need becomes more critical for adequate space for professional and support staff, for staging areas, and easily accessible exhibition gal- leries offering higher ceilings, dependable environmen- tal control, and flexible lighting. In the interim, we have learned to live with such limitations, and they certainly did not prevent us from mounting an exciting exhibition program this past year. Master Drawings from the Smith College Museum of Art, El Greco: Themes and Variations, and The Art of the Timekeeper: Masterpieces from the Winthrop Edey Bequest were widely praised for their unique quality, interest, and contribution to the New York art scene. The future promises more of the same, with an expanding roster of first-class exhibitions planned for the years to come. The space situation at the Library has been made all the more pressing by the arrival of the Frick Archives (some thirteen hundred linear feet), on long- term loan from The Helen Clay Frick Foundation. The extraordinary agreement between the Collection, the Foundation, and the University of Pittsburgh will eventually, and for the first time, provide public access to the enormous trove of archival material from Henry Clay Frick and his descendents, including doc- umentation of works of art now or previously in the Collection, photographs, home movies, and architec- tural and business records.

In particular, our work in this area could not have occurred without the generous help of Dr. Jonathan Brown, who not only aided in the conception and exe- cution of the El Greco exhibition, but also has encouraged the Council’s support of our scholarly pursuits. Having an academician of his stature builds strength upon strength, and heralds a renewed com- mitment to first principles in our intellectual focus. We are deeply fortunate to have people of such cal- iber willing to give so much and so selflessly. Our recent accomplishments in myriad activities  On December , it was announced at the annual meeting of the Board of Trustees that Dr. Henry Clay Frick II, grandson of the Collection’s founder and a board member for forty-eight years and President since , had chosen to retire. The board voted to confer on him the title of Chairman Emeritus. Fellow trustee Paul G. Pennoyer described his service to the Collection as follows:

Clay, as Dr. Frick was known to his friends and asso- ciates, was first elected to the Board of Trustees in . His father, Childs Frick, was then President of A Tribute to a the board, and his aunt, Helen Clay Frick, was Secre- tary. In , Clay was elected Vice President, taking Tremendous the place of Junius Spencer Morgan. Clay’s father relinquished the presidency a few months before he died in . Soon after, Clay was elected President, a Force position he held until his resignation in , when his niece Helen Clay Chace assumed this role. Dr. Henry Clay Frick II During his tenure on the board, he served with five Directors: Franklin Biebel, Harry Grier, Everett Fahy, Charles Ryskamp, and Samuel Sachs II. During his presidency several remarkable paintings were added to Paul G. Pennoyer  the Collection, including Three Soldiers by Brueghel, Comte and Chevalier de Choiseul by Drouais, Madonna and Child with Sts. Lawrence and Julian by Gentile da Fabriano, Portrait of a Man by Memling, and The Portal of Valenci- ennes by Watteau. During his watch, the property adjoining the Col- lection was acquired, which allowed for the construc- tion of the Seventieth Street Garden as well as an addition to accommodate visitor needs and special exhibition galleries. Other major undertakings included the publication of the complete Catalogue of the Collection, the inauguration of the exhibition program, and, perhaps most significantly, the merger of the Library with the Collection in  followed by the campaign to create the Library’s own endowment. Clay was instrumental in getting the drive started with an $. million grant from The Helen Clay Frick Foundation. This cold recitation of historical events does not begin to describe the role that Clay played as Presi- dent of the Trustees. Even though he inherited the  Dr. Henry Clay Frick II, Chairman Emeritus position, he bore its responsibilities heavily and with trying to find out if the Collection was holding to its deep concern not only for the institution, but also for budget.

Although he had some difficulty understanding accounting, he spent many hours with the Collection’s officers in charge of money matters  The Frick Collection houses over eleven hundred works of art from the Renaissance to the late nine- teenth century, including paintings, sculpture, works on paper, and objects of decorative art. Through acquisitions, exhibitions, publications, conservation projects, and programs for scholars, the public, and middle and high school students, the curatorial staff works to maintain, develop, and interpret its collec- tions; preserve the historic site; and fulfill the founder’s aim of “encouraging and developing the Curatorial study of the fine arts, and advancing the general knowledge of kindred subjects.” Over the course of the year, the curatorial depart- ment presented four loan exhibitions (two of them initiated in-house), a number of in-focus installations on objects in the collection, and special loans. These temporary shows ranged in period from the Golden Age of Spain, to eighteenth-century France, to Post- Impressionism, and focused on a variety of media, including painting, drawing, and the decorative arts. In addition, the department organized nine lectures by scholars, a talk by a prominent contemporary artist, and symposia; produced two catalogues and texts to accompany the exhibitions; expanded its edu- cational offerings to middle and high school students and special audiences; and launched a comprehensive collections management program. The year saw increased activity in conservation, including the refur- bishment and presentation of the Winthrop Edey bequest of clocks and timepieces and the upgrading of the museum’s storage areas.

During the ‒ school year, more than sixteen hundred students from fifty classes visited The Frick Collection through the Education Program, while more than two hundred teachers participated in staff development sessions. Due to the tragic events of September , the last quarter of the year suffered a drastic decline in school visits. For the first time, the Collection offered its four- part teacher training course for credit from the New York City Board of Education. The Collection also offered training courses to private and parochial teachers through the Leadership Program, student teachers from Lehman College of the City University of New York, and teaching artists from Dreamyard, an organization that provides outreach to inner-city school students through the visual, performing, and literary arts.

 The Frick Collection has presented classical music concerts since . During its distinguished history, the concert program has been host to major soloists and ensembles, such as Gregor Piatigorsky, Artur Schnabel, Josef Szigeti, Wanda Landowska, Kiri Te Kanawa, Kathleen Battle, Ian Bostridge, and the Budapest, Tokyo, and Guarneri quartets. In , there were fourteen concerts, of which eight were debuts. The circular Music Room—with its glass dome, Concerts damask-covered walls, and  seats—conveys the atmosphere of a private salon. Not only is the Collec- tion an important venue for music played on period instruments, it also has become prestigious for Euro- pean musicians to make their New York debuts here. All concerts were offered free of charge and were underwritten with the support of the Fellows of The Frick Collection. The concerts were recorded and subsequently broadcast locally by WNYC-FM (.), with selections carried by NPR’s Performance Today.

 More than ever, the activities of the Library, Archives, and Information Systems staff reached across depart- ments and beyond walls. Consultation and collabora- tion with Collection staff have produced scholarly research initiatives and a collections management sys- tem for the works of art. Outreach programs for interns and volunteers are on the rise, and the Library not only has acquired new resources that are uniquely Frick Art available in the United States, but has expanded the number of its resources identifiable through its web- Reference Library site. Perhaps most significantly of all, after four years of collective effort and a prolonged court dispute, more than thirteen hundred linear feet of historic material from The Helen Clay Frick Foundation Archives were delivered to the Frick Art Reference Library in December. The disposition provides for collaboration with the University of Pittsburgh in the effort to organize, evaluate, preserve, and, ultimately, make accessible these valuable materials.

Public Services

The first three quarters of  saw an unprecedented rise in attendance that gave way to a dramatic decline in the months following September . By mid- November, however, usage and services were slowly on the rise again, particularly in areas relating to the Library’s electronic resources. The last stage of reorganization of the Frick Art Reference Library was completed with the restructur- ing of the Reference Department into the new Public Services Department, headed by Lydia Dufour. More than any single resource, the staff of reference librari- ans, reference assistants, pages, receptionists, and those from other departments called upon to provide their expertise and assistance have helped to create an atmosphere that welcomes new as well as long-term readers to the Frick Art Reference Library. New equipment was acquired, including a second microfilm and fiche reader-printer with improved speed and quality, which was installed in the Small Reading Room.  Helen Clay Frick, c. .

A letter campaign begun in  and directed at the smaller and newer auction houses resulted in still more complimentary catalogue subscriptions from houses in Australia, Belgium, Israel, Mexico, Romania, and Spain. New exchange agreements with museums in central Europe, including the Estonian Art Museum and Fine Art Museum of Budapest, were established, and depository arrangements with numer- ous art dealers, galleries, and museums continued.

Archives & Special Collections

In late December, The Helen Clay Frick Foundation Archives were deposited at the Frick Art Reference Library, where archives and conservation staff imme- diately began to inventory, process, and preserve them for future users. Evaluation of all materials will be completed in , at which time those archival mate- rials relevant to industrial history will be returned to western Pennsylvania to be placed on deposit at the University of Pittsburgh.

The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and the Getty Research Institute called a meeting in February of six of the largest European and American photoarchives, to discuss the possible role of these scholarly resources in a large-scale digital initiative to be known as ARTStor. Prior to the meeting, the Library conducted a survey, funded by the Mellon Founda- tion, which analyzed the sources of images in the Photoarchive with respect to photographers and photo suppliers. The survey was requested as a pre- liminary study of intellectual property issues related to photoarchives.

 Historically, The Frick Collection has depended upon its national and international audience for two-thirds of its admissions and shop sales; through most of the s, those revenues followed the growth curve of the booming local tourist economy. Until the fall of , the Frick was on course for a banner year. In the wake of the events of September , however, the situ- ation changed as tourism in New York City declined. The role of contributions remains critical to the ff financial health of the institution, and we are there- Public A airs fore deeply appreciative of the generous support of our donors and members, as well as the foundations, corporations, and government agencies that have helped the Frick to maintain its high standard of excellence. Perhaps most importantly, the steady upward trend of these gifts in recent years has strengthened the Frick’s position with the IRS, as it seeks to make its status as a public charity permanent at the conclusion of a five-year trial period ending December .

Even with the downturn, both attendance revenue and Shop sales provided  percent of the operating revenues for .

Media Relations & Marketing The Media Relations & Marketing Department (for- merly Communications) expanded, enhancing the institution’s ability to provide information about its activities to the media. The institution also partici- pated in a number of public-oriented marketing pro- grams, such as Culture Fest, which was organized by NYC & Co. to inform New Yorkers about the riches of the city. Held in October, this weekend-long festi- val was one of many important group activities in which the Frick participated after September , in an effort to encourage the public to use the institution as a resource for comfort and contemplation. One of several media-related high points in   saw the launch of a new full-color Members’ Magazine, published was the attention garnered for the Young Fellows pro- three times a year.  We deeply appreciate the generosity of the following individuals, foundations, and corporations who made substantial contributions to the museum and Library during the course of the year. Nearly  percent of the Collection’s budget for ongoing activities must be found annually from sources other than the endowment. Capital projects and special programs require additional resources as well. These listings reflect gifts and grants that pro- vide vitally needed general operating funds, as well as Gifts & Grants support for a range of projects including special exhi- during  bitions and publications, Library acquisitions and endowment, services to scholars, the middle-school education program, conservation equipment and materials, landscaping, seminars, Photoarchive survey, and the annual Symposium on the History of Art. In addition, the demands of our beautiful, but aging, building require an increasing investment of capital. We are most grateful to our expanding member- ship for its thoughtful and steadfast support of our programs and services.
