The Frick Collection reopened in April after a $330 million renovation, featuring a restored mansion and new architectural additions. Alongside its renowned collection of Old Master paintings and decorative arts, it unveiled increased conservation facilities, including a 1,200-square-foot studio. Julia Day was appointed chief conservator, returning from the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi to succeed Joseph Godla. Day's experience includes work at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and her focus on decorative objects. The revamped museum emphasizes not just visual appeal but also enhanced ability for artwork care and preservation.
Julia Day's return to The Frick Collection as chief conservator signals a new era in art preservation for the museum, complementing its physical renovations with a strengthened conservation role.
With the reopening of the Frick, the museum showcases not only its prized collection but also innovative features like the new conservation studio and radiography room.
