Step into the restored grandeur of the Gilded Age with The Frick Collection: The Historic Interiors of One East Seventieth Street, a 240‑page hardcover masterwork by Xavier F. Salomon and photographer Miguel Flores‑Vianna. This stunning volume offers a room‑by‑room journey through Henry Clay Frick’s Fifth Avenue mansion, now home to one of the world’s foremost art collections.
You’ll be drawn in by the lush, newly commissioned imagery that captures every architectural detail, from stately drawing rooms to intimate boudoirs and light‑filled galleries. Each photograph tells a story, revealing how interiors and art align to create an atmosphere of timeless elegance. Through Salomon’s commentary, we see how the mansion’s spaces evolved from private residence to public museum, while preserving Frick’s original vision of a home “simple, in good taste, and not ostentatious.”
