The Frick Collection recently held its gala opening after a $220 million renovation, combining the historic charm of the Gilded Age mansion with contemporary flair. High-profile guests, including philanthropists and socialites, immersed themselves in art while sharing gourmet bites and champagne. Trustee Tai-Heng Cheng emphasized the importance of art as a space for shared interests beyond politics, highlighting the event’s role in fostering connection through beauty. The newly refreshed mansion, now set to open to the public later this month, serves as a bridge between the past and present.
On a rainy night on the Upper East Side, art world philanthropists, billionaire business moguls and New York socialites scurried under a canopy of umbrellas and into the newly restored Frick.
It's really important to have spaces where we can leave politics at the door and find common interests in something like art and beauty, said Tai-Heng Cheng.
