Hide Profile

Helen Clay Frick (1888-1984), daughter of industrialist and art collector Henry Clay Frick, founded the Frick Art Reference Library in 1920 and served as its director until 1983. Miss Frick developed a special interest in Italian art during the 1920s, making four trips to Italy during the winter of 1923-24, and in 1925, 1927 and 1928 in order to discover and record early Italian paintings and frescos, and obtain photographs of the works, either through purchase or original photography.
