About
The first exhibition ever devoted to Susanne de Court, the only woman known to have led a Limoges enamel workshop around 1600, gathers some fifty of her signed works at the Frick.
De Court is a genuine rediscovery — the only woman known to have made enamels in her era, with roughly 100 surviving works — and this is the first show anywhere to gather them. The Frick's jewel-box galleries are the right scale for objects this small and luminous. It is the kind of focused, scholarly exhibition the reopened Frick does better than anyone.
What to expect
A single-gallery-scale show of small painted enamels — plaques, saltcellars, medallions — with loans from US and European collections. Allow 45 minutes plus the permanent collection.
