Happy opening day to our friends at The Public Theater! Tonight is the world premiere of "Girl, Interrupted," whose title was inspired by Vermeer’s “Girl Interrupted at Her Music,” here at the Frick 🎭✨

The new play by Martyna Majok, with original music by Aimee Mann, is based on Susanna Kaysen’s 1993 memoir of the same name. Kaysen writes about encountering Vermeer’s painting at the Frick while on a day pass from a psychiatric hospital. She recognized something of herself in its central figure: a young woman paused, unsettled, caught between two states. That fleeting interruption became a lasting metaphor for those suspended months of her life in the hospital.

Find Vermeer's "Girl Interrupted at Her Music" on view in the South Hall during your next visit to the Frick!

Early summer morning, brought to you by Turner 🖼️☀️

The artist painted this scene on the Thames in 1826 as a commission for William Moffatt, whose estate, just west of London, he shows bathed in a luminous shade of yellow—a signature of his evolving style in the 1820s.

Though Turner called this an "Early Summer Morning," the day is already buzzing with activity, from loaded boats on the river to figures tending the garden (one holding a large scythe). Two fashionably dressed men at the center of the composition have less to do: They lean against the parapet enjoying the view.

Spring into summer at the Frick 🌿🌸

This timelapse captures a bulb display in the Fifth Avenue Garden inspired by our Gainsborough exhibition (now closed) and English cottage gardens. Over the next few weeks, the floral border will change to a colorful planting celebrating the exhibition "Ruffles & Ribbons: Fashion Plates from the Time of Marie Antoinette.”

Flowering plants such as sweet peas, 'Pink Champagne' California poppies, and 'Café au Lait' dahlias will reflect the color palette of the fashion plates in the show, while foliage plants such as angel wings and Joseph’s coat will evoke the fashion accessories used at the time.

A partnership between Westmoreland and our horticulture team will also bring the gardens into the café! Keep an eye out for syrups and garnishes made from flowers and herbs grown right here at the Frick.

What's the most extravagant hairstyle you have ever worn? 🎀

Join Yifu Liu, Anne L. Poulet Curatorial Fellow, for a deep dive into the fashion of the “pouf”—the voluminous eighteenth-century hairstyle popularized by Marie Antoinette. Yifu discusses various types of poufs, as well as the measures women took to preserve them for days at a time, as illustrated in hand-colored engravings from the period.

Twenty-four of these captivating prints are on view through August 3 in the Frick’s Cabinet Gallery for the special installation “Ruffles & Ribbons: Fashion Plates from the Time of Marie Antoinette.”
