Review of The Frick Collection

The Frick has long been one of the very best museum collections in New York. The Museum is a quiet place of refuge. The current inclusion of the unimpressive artworks by a contemporary artist speaks only of poor judgement and a pandering to a misguided trend. The contemporary works set up in arbitrary places around the museum, even interfering with views of the Frick's own works, in no way create any 'dialogue' or visual enjoyment. No one would ever purchase such unimpressive things for the Frick collection so they should not be shown there. Trying to be trendy doesn't fit.
