Watch Lecture: "A Mirror to the Frick: The Collector Museums of Britain, 1870–1920," with Giles Waterfield

On Wednesday, April 27th the ICAA and The Frick Collection co-hosted "A Mirror to the Frick: The Collector Museums of Britain, 1870–1920," a lecture by Giles Waterfield. In his lecture Waterfield, art historian and author of The People’s Galleries, examines the creation and proliferation of private collections in Britain that became museums – from the Bowes Museum, to the Wallace Collection, to the Russell-Cotes Art Gallery. Do they resemble the Frick, or are their collections and aspirations wholly different?
