Frye Art Museum, Seattle
The Frye Art is an art museum located in the First Hill neighborhood of Seattle, Washington, USA. The museum focuses on painting and sculpture of the nineteenth century to today. Its properties are from the individual accumulation of Charles (1858-1940) and Emma ( 1934) Frye. Carlos, possessor of a meatpacking plant locally, the money adjust by in his will for a museum to family the Frye, a collection of more than 230 paintings. The Frye Museum open in 1952 and was the first museum Seattle Art free. The museum building was designed by Paul Thiry, but has since been considerably modified.
Charles Fryes will requires that most of its collection Fryes continue to be always the case, given the size of the rooms, the provisions were also made for lighting, and above all concrete floors (eventually I will highlight vague, making the wood over concrete). It also provided that access is always free. These conditions are sufficient to keep the Seattle Art Museum to be interested in his collection.
collection Fryes consisted entirely of representative works, the tendency to a dark, dramatic and psychological rather than good. museums permanent collection reflects Charles Frye rather conservative artistic tastes, and (although there is no such condition), the museum is still dedicated exclusively to the representation of art and its acquisitions and exhibitions. This is the conservatism of the arts and social values of its 1st conductor, Walser Great House ( 1966) and his more than cautious replacement and widow, Ida Kay Great House, which operated the museum until 1993.
However, it has less of a fresh master leaders in recent years has been far more than adventurous, has led to a compare of Seattle Henry Art Gallery. Exhibitions in recent years have been the show Mark Ryden Wondertoonel childhood photo is often sick Retrofuturistic NSK universe (2005), and Henry Darger: The main points with the American Folk Art Museum (2006), the museum has also repeatedly shifted its permanent collection, the exhibition is to try different mechanisms. In 2007, for the first time, in other parts of the rooms dedicated to the original collection Frye, are parallel against fragments of founder Henry Art Gallery collection.
