Impostors at the Frick

.

The FRICK COLLECTION is a sight to behold. One of those rare places where old master paintings and French furnishings exist in their original settings. The jewel box mansion in New York houses collection after collection.
I love porcelains-I inherited the sickness from my GranMa-in my case pure and simple genetics.

Treasures abound at the Frick-an extraordinary installation of Boucher paintings can be viewed HERE.
