The Frick Collection, General Garden Layout RP/1/14/15/4

An ink and pencil design on tracing paper, marked 'Frick Collection, General garden lay-out, scale 1/4" = 1 foot.' This relates closely to RP/1/14/15/6 but Caisse de Versailles have been added; a series of six of them are placed along the east wall. Four fountain jets are indicated along the north wall (one of them is marked ‘water’).

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.
