The New Yorker and Goldman Sachs Fete Artist Barkley L. Hendricks at The Frick Madison

The New Yorker and Goldman Sachs Private Wealth Management co-hosted an intimate evening at the Frick Madison to celebrate the historic exhibition "Barkley L. Hendricks: Portraits at the Frick," the museum's first solo show by an artist of color. The event featured a conversation about Hendricks's legacy between Thelma Golden, director of The Studio Museum in Harlem; Aimee Ng, curator at The Frick Collection; and Antwaun Sargent, consulting curator at the Frick. Guests viewed fourteen of Hendricks's early portraits, which combine a bold realism with Old Master influences to center Black representation.
