The Frick Collection is the only venue for the presentation of this private collection devoted to the art of the statuette of the fifteenth through eighteenth century. The almost forty sculptures are primarily in bronze, but also in terracotta and precious metal. In addition to exemplary works by Italian masters of the genre, such as Giambologna and the Susini, as well as those by their equally gifted Northern contemporaries such as Hendrick de Keyser. The exhibition is accompanied by an illustrated catalogue co-authored by Patricia Wengraf and Manfred Leithe-Jasper, Curator Emeritus, the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna.
