Supporters of The Frick Collection and their guests enjoyed the annual Young Fellows Ball, the museum’s highly anticipated benefit event each spring. This year’s event, “Midnight on Madison,” was like none other hosted by the Frick. Taking place on Leap Day, Thursday, February 29, it served as a festive kick-off to the final weekend of Frick Madison, the museum’s acclaimed temporary home closing permanently on March 3. The theme celebrated the culmination of the Frick’s residency in Marcel Breuer’s iconic modernist building on the Upper East Side, as the museum prepares for the eagerly awaited return to its renovated historic buildings on Fifth Avenue later this year.

Guests at the Ball enjoyed a night of art and music by Angel + Dren, along with refreshments and hors d’oeuvres provided by Pinch Food Design, decor by Stellar Style Events, and lighting and sound design by L&M Sound & Light. With exclusive last-chance access to the galleries, they were able to experience the museum’s masterpieces reframed at Frick Madison, a once-in-a-lifetime

presentation featuring collection highlights by celebrated artists such as Bellini, Degas, Fragonard, Gainsborough, Ingres, Rembrandt, Titian, Van Dyck, and Vermeer. Select works of art were highlighted in gallery talks offered throughout the evening. The event also included an immersive photo booth experience inspired by the Ball’s theme and the Frick’s significant collection of clocks and timepieces.
