Presenting for the first time the Alexis Gregory Gift to The Frick
Collection, this exquisite publication provides illuminating
insights into Gregory's magnificently eclectic collection,
cataloging his fine and decorative works of art in detail.
Twenty-eight works of art bequeathed to the Frick by Alexis Gregory
range from Limoges enamels to Saint-Porchaire ware to pastels by
the Venetian painter Rosalba Carriera. This remarkable gift has
introduced new types of objects to the Frick: works in ivory and
rhinoceros horn are the first of their kind to be held in the
collection. Gregory's gift includes fifteen Limoges enamels, one of
them produced in the workshop of Suzanne de Court, the only woman
known to have led an enamel workshop in Limoges. Also part of the
gift are a gilt-bronze sculpture, an ivory hilt, a pomander, ewers,
saltcellars, and two clocks. Many of Gregory's objects came from
such prestigious owners as the French royal collections and the
Rothschilds. Included in the publication are commentaries on each
gift. This lavishly illustrated publication accompanies an
exhibition that will be on view at The Frick Collection February 16
through May 14, 2023.
