Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. First Edition. Larger demy folio, [27.75cm/11inches], full gilt-embossed ebony cloth with mylar-protected dust jacket, pp. 599, indexed. Illustrated with b-w halftones, colour plates &ct. Please feel free to ask for particulars and/or additional photographs. . Reviewer Donald Miller noted: "A great-granddaughter of Henry Clay Frick, once "the most hated man in America," has unleashed a 600-page biography that is, culturally speaking, a psychological thriller of Johnstown Flood proportions. That seems only right since Frick was a primary originator of the South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club. When its earthen dam broke in 1892, 2,200 people drowned. But "Henry Clay Frick: An Intimate Portrait" is really a double portrait, not only of Frick but also of his daughter, Helen Clay Frick (1888-1984). This dark saga ends with her death at Clayton in Point Breeze. The public has long needed such a book in order to understand what motivated this family. Frick's personal life has never been so openly revealed nor so intensely described. The book also is filled with many color and black and white illustrations of art and houses that help the reader understand the breadth of this fascinating subject, from the village of West Overton, Frick's Westmoreland County birthplace, to the stone halls of New York's Frick Collection and Eagle Rock, Frick's long-razed Massachusetts estate. .

Hardcover. Condition: Good. Henry Clay Frick, the world-famous art collector and steel tycoon, was a towering figure in America's "gilded age" of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The houses he built for himself and his family exemplify the great residences of the era, with priceless art, cultivated gardens, and interiors by the most prestigious designers of the day. This elegant volume, written by Frick's great-granddaughter and biographer, features the four major houses purchased, built, and renovated for the steel magnate; each is described in exacting detail, with information about the architects and interior designers, furnishings and art, and decoration. Beautiful archival photographs-interior and exterior, many previously unseen-and architectural drawings document the residences. The late-Victorian Clayton, in Pittsburgh, was Henry Clay Frick's first home as a married man and the chairman of the Carnegie Steel Company; it now houses the Frick Art and Historical Center. Eagle Rock, the Fricks' summer retreat to the north of Boston, was a neoclassical, all-brick colossus designed by Arthur Little and Herbert W. C. Browne. The most famous house in the book is 1 East Seventieth Street, along New York's Fifth Avenue. Long recognized as one of the city's most elegant buildings and today housing the world-renowned Frick Collection, it was designed in 1912 by Thomas Hastings of Carrre & Hastings. The fourth house in the book is the Clayton Estate, a Georgian Revival masterpiece in Roslyn, New York, originally designed in 1901 by Odgen Codman Jr.; it is now the Nassau County Museum of Fine Arts.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. First Edition. Black cloth with dust wrapper. Signs of shelf wear. Profusely illustrated in colour. With unprecedented access to personal letters, private family diaries, and the Frick archives at the Frick Collection in New York City and at family residences in Pittsburgh, Martha Frick Symington Sanger has written a unique and penetrating account of the life and times of Henry Clay Frick and his family. In addition, the author explains in this meticulously researched book the reason why Frick and his daughter Helen selected the paintings, sculpture, and other items that are included in the collection. Since 1935 the magnificent art treasures of the Frick Collections have been open to the public in the New York City mansion that the family occupied. This book will enrich any visitor's experience of the Frick Collection in a way that had not been possible in previous books. The intriguing topics covered here include Frick's complex relationship with Andrew Carnegie and with other well-known business magnates; his harsh personal life darkened by the deaths of a younger daughter and infant son; and a sensitive portrayal of his daughter Helen, who was a Frick Collection trustee and chairman of the Art Acquisitions Committee after her father's death. Illustrating this book are 370 pictures ranging from paintings and sculpture in the Frick Collection to family portraits and historical images. This biography of a key figure in the development of American industry will appeal to both art history lovers and to historians, offering a singular and compelling reading and visual experience. Editorial Reviews: WINNER of the New York Book Show Award "The life of Henry Clay Frick - industrialist, coke magnate and, later, Andrew Carnegie's partner in the steel business - is fascinatingly chronicled in this volume by his great-granddaughter Martha Frick Symington Sanger. In taking a decidedly psychological approach to her subject, Ms. Sanger may have explained a mystery that has perplexed Frick's past biographers: What motivated one of the most notorious of the turn-of-the-century robber barons to begin collecting paintings and other artwork so assiduously?" -Vartan Gregorian for The Opinion Journal - From the Publisher Size: Quarto. 6 pages.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. Inscribed by author on title page (with best wishes / Martha Frick Symington Sanger / ''Martie''). Hardcover in black cloth slipcase. Fine. Dust jacket is near fine with just a bit of slight edgewear. Slipcase shows light scuffing and some minor soiling. Illustrated with over 300 vintage photographs, most never seen before. Notes, Bibliography, Resources, Glossary, Index, pp. xiv, 295. 12 x 10 inches. A gorgeously illustrated study of the houses of Henry Clay Frick (1849-1919), a world-famous art collector and steel tycoon, authoritatively written by his great-granddaughter, his award-winning biographer, Martha Frick Symington Sanger. Drawing on extensive, previously unpublished archives of vintage photographs, documents, and letters, Sanger presents here the fascinating story of Henry Clay Frick's houses. She recounts the purchase and renovation of these properties and in great detail presents the unusual beauty of the furnishings, objects of art, and design feature in each home. The work of Frick's architects and interior designers --the most prominent of their era--is carefully documented, as are their often tumultuous relationships with the Frick family. Sanger interweaves the stories of the lives of Frick, of his wife, and their children with the history of these houses. Intriguing subjects addressed in this scholarly work are the impact of the Industrial Revolution on interior design trends in America; Frick's introduction to art through his travels in Europe; the independent and heroic life of his daughter, Helen Clay Frick, as an art collector, early historic preservationist, and feminist. Includes examples original working drawings, artists' sketches, and designer's notes. Photographs are accompanied by extensive captions describing the rooms, artwork, and furniture in exacting detail. Signed by Author(s).
