In Conversation: Nicolas Party

In connection with his current installation at Frick Madison, artist Nicolas Party sits down for a conversation with Xavier F. Salomon, the Frick’s Deputy Director and Peter Jay Sharp Chief Curator. Party discusses the inspirations and themes that informed his mural, why he finds the ephemeral nature of his installations liberating, and his fascination with Rosalba Carriera, the “queen of pastel.”
“Nicolas Party and Rosalba Carriera” is on view through the remainder of our temporary residency at Frick Madison, closing March 3, 2024. Learn more: www.frick.org/exhibitions/par...

Can't wait to see it in person!

Wonderful concept! "Back to dust" Just as a live music performance, even if recorded, it is short lived, however, present in our fading memories

Extraordinary work- the reflection on its connection to the transitory nature of all art eventually was moving and helped me understand how Mr. Party could bear to see his work vanish at the end of the exhibition.

well said> Before Edison "invented" sound waves recording devices, music was also a transitory art, sadly we, out of convenience and lack of sophistication have sacrificed the experience itself. Mr. Party is making us pull away from this, and is re-training us to live the full experience while it lasts.

Disculpen mi apreciación pero cuando realizan entrevistas sería apropiado que hablen más pausado para que el traductor pueda realizar la traducción simultánea escrita del audio. Así todos podemos apreciar y disfrutar de esta excelente entrevista al artista. Muchas gracias

How is Nicolas Party in conversation with Kehinde Wiley? Such amazing work from both of them bringing forward portraiture culture into this time! So exciting!
