I just found this notice and thought it would be of interest to those who might be in New York in the Fall."The Frick Collection is the Exclusive U.S. Venue of the Most Comprehensive Exhibition of Memling’s Portraits. October 12 through December 31, 2005. The presentation of Memling’s Portraits in New York draws upon major international collections and provides the most comprehensive overview ever undertaken of the artist’s successful career in portraiture, with a selection of twenty works by the master and his school, including portrait-wings from diptychs and triptychs along with autonomous panels of individual patrons. Nearly two-thirds of all of Memling’s recorded portraits are featured in this exhibition, which is considered to be an unprecedented viewing opportunity and one unlikely to be repeated."
And most importantly:
"Memling’s Portraits is accompanied by a full-color catalogue...(191 pages) published by Ludion in English, French, Dutch, Spanish, and German editions. It features essays by Till-Holger Borchert, Chief Curator of the Groeningemuseum (also the catalogue’s editor); Lorne Campbell; Paula Nuttall; and Maryan W. Ainsworth, as well as detailed entries on all twenty-eight panels that were featured in the slightly variant versions of the traveling exhibition. It is available for $40 in English and French softcover editions through...the institution’s Web site (www.frick.org), and by calling (212) 288-0700 (hardcover through Thames & Hudson)."
