Publisher's Synopsis
The Frick Art Reference Library, founded by Helen Clay Frick, has been part of the international infrastructure of art history since its inception. 'One Hundred Objects in the Frick Art Reference Library' looks back at its work over the last hundred years through one hundred objects, not just from its extensive collections of books, auction catalogs, photographs and archives, but through its spaces, artworks and the traces of some of its actors: Helen Clay Frick herself obviously, but also her French agent Madame Briere, and librarians such as Pauline Wells or Doriece Colle.
