The Oval Room: A Symphony in Silver
In this episode of “Renovation Stories,” Ian Wardropper, Anna-Maria and Stephen Kellen Director, presents recent updates to the Oval Room, one of his favorite spaces at the Frick. The room was added in 1935, during the conversion of the historic Frick mansion into a museum. Now, as part of our ongoing renovation project, the gallery’s wall hangings have been replaced with replicas of the original silvery brocade—complementing the beautiful monochromatic portraits by Whistler that will make a return to this distinctive space.
