Frick Collection _ Norton Simon Museum_Feb. 9, 2009
About two hundred guests attended a reception at the Frick Collection for the opening of an unprecedented reciprocal loan collaboration between the Frick and the Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena. In the Oval Room on view were five 16th and 17th century masterpieces from the Norton Simon — none of which has left its Southern California home in almost three decades.
The five featured paintings are: Jacopo Bassano’s (Jacopo da Ponte, 1510–1592) Flight into Egypt, c. 1544– 45; Peter Paul Rubens’s (1577–1640) Holy Women at the Sepulchre, c. 1611–14; Guercino’s (Giovanni Francesco Barbieri, 1591–1666) Aldrovandi Dog, c. 1625; Francisco de Zurbarán’s (1598–1664) Still Life with Lemons, Oranges and a Rose, 1633; and Bartolomé Esteban Murillo’s (1617–1682) Birth of Saint John the Baptist, c. 1660. As an extra added coup: none of these artists are currently represented in the Frick’s collection.
Guests included: From the Norton Simon, President Walter Timoshuk and Chief Curator Carol Togneri and from the Frick, Chairman Margot Bogert, Director Anne L. Poulet, Associate Director and Peter Jay Sharp Chief Curator Colin B. Bailey, Assistant Curator Margaret Iacono, Caitlin Davis, Joseph Godla, Rika Burnham, Charlotte Vignon, Deborah Kempe, and others, as well as colleagues and supports, among them Maryan Ainsworth, Christopher and Francesca Beale, Frederick W. and Candace Beinecke, Fiona Benenson, Genevieve Wheeler Brown, Stephanie Buck, Joyce Cowin, Gonzolo and Kathleen de Las Heras, Nina Del Rio, L. F. Boker Doyle, June Dyson, Elizabeth Easton, Colin and Benita Eisler, Margaret H. Ellis, Francis Finlay, Joanne Foster, Lucius L. Fowler, Alain Goldrach, Meirelle and Hubert Goldschmidt, Peter and Gail W. Goltra, Natoya Green and Frederick Mwangaguhunga, Agnes Gund, Michael J. and Katherine Horvitz, Faith Humann, Andre Hurni, Kathy Irwin, Robert Johnson, Henry Johnson, Anita Jorgensen, Bruce M. Kaplan, Lucy J. Lang, Leonard Lopate, Nancy A. Marks, W. Barnabus and Marie McHenry, Robert and Clare E. McKeon, Benton and Elizabeth Moyer, Edgar Munhall, Diane A. Nixon, David T. Owsley, Emily Pataki, Barbara Reuter, Elisabeth Saint-Amand, Melvin R.
