Description
by Xavier F. Salomon (Author), Vladimir Kanevsky (Artist)
Celebrate The Frick Collection with a profusion of beautiful flower sculptures.
In conjunction with its reopening, following its 2020-25 renovation, The Frick Collection commissioned porcelain flowers from Ukrainian sculptor Vladimir Kanevsky. Some twenty arrangements evoke the fresh flowers displayed throughout the museum when it first opened to the public, in 1935. Kanevsky's lifelike porcelain flowers have been exhibited in museums around the world, including the State Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg, Russia, and Hillwood Estate, Museum & Gardens in Washington, DC. With an essay by Xavier F. Salomon and exquisite photography, this book documenting Kanevsky's twenty extraordinary creations is a lasting souvenir of a unique installation at the Frick.
