“Porcelain, No Simple Matter: Arlene Shechet and the Arnhold Collection”

Somewhat unusually, this Frick exhibit involves a contemporary artist: Arlene Shechet, a noted ceramics sculptor whose year-long installation pairs 18th-century Royal Meissen porcelain from the collection with her own porcelain made at the Meissen factory during residencies in 2012 and 2013. A historical meditation on our fascination with the material’s delicate beauty, the show overlooks the museum’s Fifth Avenue Garden from the Portico Gallery.
