The exhibition on Nicolai Fechin, curated by Frye Director Jo-Anne Birnie Danzker, provided a rare opportunity to recognize the accomplishments of this important Russian-American artist.
With fifty-five artworks from the holdings of the Frye Art Museum, US galleries, and works from Art Russe, the exhibition focused on the early Russian period of the artist's career. It was the first major overview of Fechin's work at the Frye Art Museum since 1976.
