2018 Frick Collection Autumn Dinner

Named one of the “Most Memorable Parties of the Year” by The New York Times, Frick Collection Autumn Dinner opens the gala season and sets the bar very  high. Opulent and festive black-tie evening, held at the elegant Frick mansion is the only sit-down dinner held in the museum’s monumental picture galleries, amid masterpieces dating from the Renaissance through the nineteenth century. A truly unique experience, always sold out early gathers crèm de la crème of New York City‘s society and those dedicated to preserving history and art. One can’t help but feel very special surrounded by precious permanent guests like Goya, Bellini, Vermeer, Rembrandt and many other great artists. There is always a certain poise, very open, positive and approachable energy at The Frick collection. The magnetic attraction that all Frick fans keep coming back for.

This year honoree, Henry P. Johnson, has been a loyal supporter of the museum and the library for thirteen consecutive years and has championed museum’s special exhibitions and the programs of the Center for the History of Collecting.

Henry is a passionate supporter of arts and culture in greater New York and sits on the boards of the New York Botanical Garden, American Ballet Theatre, Vassar College, Greenwood Gardens, and the Josiah Macy, Jr. Foundation. He is a President of Northern Trust’s Wealth Management business in the eastern United States, and oversees twenty-eight offices from New England to Florida. Frick trustee Margot Bogert and Frick Director Ian Wardropper toasted Johnson. Wardropper presented him with a commemorative silver tray donated by Tiffany & Co.
