4 d. ago Grayson Perry: Delusions of Grandeur review – pomposity puncturing gets lost in personae

Part of the Frick’s appeal is that it is a great museum that hardly feels like a museum at all. Even more than, say, the Wallace Collection in London – one of the inspirations behind the 5th Avenue landmark – the Frick has the feeling of being someone’s home, its contents selected by a singular eye.That’s because it was and they were.
