Frick Gets Go Ahead For New Gallery

The Landmarks Preservation Commission on Tuesday unanimously approved the Frick Collection’s plan to create a new gallery for sculpture and decorative objects by enclosing the portico on the north side of its Fifth Avenue garden in glass.

The project, designed by the New York architectural firm Davis Brody Bond Aedas, was prompted by a promised gift of more than 100 pieces of rare porcelains from an anonymous collector. The donor’s foundation has agreed to pay to enclose the portico, where the gift will be displayed.
