The Gilded Age

At the turn of the century, New York City developed a distinct cultural and artistic identity. Today, the New York Art Resources Consortium (NYARC), a partnership between the Brooklyn Museum, the Frick Collection, and the Museum of Modern Art, offers contemporary art fans a glimpse into this era with the Documenting the Gilded Age digital collection, which chronicles "art exhibitions of galleries, clubs, and associations during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries." Here, visitors can explore exhibition brochures, introductory notes, and catalogues. These items, collectively, provide unique insight into Gilded Age society and culture. Visitors can explore a number of items related to a 1916 exhibit of contemporary French art, which benefited the Relief Fund for the Family of French Soldier Artists; two photographs of skiers from a 1912 exhibition of contemporary Scandinavian Art, sponsored by the American-Scandinavian Society; and items from a 1915 Henri Matisse exhibition. One downside of this website: because The Gilded Age project was completed in three phases, visitors do need to visit separate webpages in order to view the complete collection.
