Antonio Susini's "Cristo Morto (Dead Christ)" at The Frick This Spring in NYC
ART DAILY
NEW YORK---This winter and spring the Frick presents Renaissance and Baroque Bronzes from the Hill Collection, a distinguished private collection of thirty-three statuettes, sculptures, and a relief. Many of the statuettes were created by renowned sculptors such as Andrea Riccio, Giambologna, and Adriaen de Vries, while others were made by lesser-known Northern artists such as Caspar Gras and Hans Reichle, whose talents have only recently begun to be appreciated. In keeping with the residential character of the museum founded by Henry Clay Frick, where bronzes inhabit galleries along with paintings of different schools and eras, the Hills’ sculptures are being shown with selected Old Master and modern paintings as well as a contemporary sculpture in displays that reflect the couple’s diverse holdings and collecting sensibilities.
