In the spring of 2006, Anne Poulet, Director of The Frick Collection announced a new initiative, to establish a Center for research dedicated to the History of Collecting in America at the Frick Art Reference Library. In doing so, the Frick builds on the strengths of the Library’s collections, whose photoarchive, catalogues for auctions, exhibitions, and public and private collections, and archives have historically served scholars intent on object-oriented research. The Library’s location in New York City has long contributed to making it a hub of research focused on art collecting and the art market.
