This symposium will explore the legacy of the father-daughter collecting dynasty of Henry Clay Frick and Helen Clay Frick. Talks from scholars and experts will trace the development of their collecting interests, situate the two within a broader network of elite members of the art market, and examine the role they played in shaping our knowledge and experience of works of art. Presentations will include cutting-edge research related to:
• Familial collecting and collections
• Gilded age display
• Eco-criticism
• The intersection of gender, sexuality, and race and collecting
• The cultural, social, and environmental legacies of gilded age titans of industry in Pittsburgh and Western PA
