FRIENDS, among many other groups like Unite to Save the Frick, opposed these inappropriate plans. After much criticism, the Frick withdrew its proposal the following year. Yesterday, the Frick announced that after a year of consideration, Selldorf Architects has been chosen to design an upgrade, enhancement, and expansion of the museum's facilities. The Frick states that the new design will work within the museum's existing footprint while preserving the domestic scale and aesthetic of the original home and gardens. FRIENDS, which has been involved with and spoke out against this proposal in the past, looks forward to seeing the revised designs in the winter of 2017. To learn more about the Frick's recent decision, read: "Frick Collection Names Selldorf Architects for Its Renovation," The New York Times, October 20, 2016.
