The Frick Collection, Fountain Jets RP/1/14/15/5

An ink and pencil design on tracing paper dated June 1976, marked 'Frick Collection-garden, Suggestion for 4 fountain jets below north wall.' The design for a fountain jet which Page proposed placing in front of each of the four recesses along the north wall.

One of Russell Page’s few public commissions, his design for the 70th Street garden at The Frick Collection, a museum close to Central Park in Manhattan’s East Side, is an excellent example of his ability to develop his plan around the particularities of the site. Constructed in 1977, it still survives to this day. Its popularity was made evident in 2015 when public protests successfully halted plans to demolish it.
