Many congratulations to Xavier F. Salomon, who is the new chief curator at the Frick. Xavier was recently at the Met, and before that chief curator at Dulwich Picture Gallery. Quite a stellar rise. More details here.
Update - my first version of this story had Xavier as Director - oops. As a reader wrote:
I am sure Xavier will undoubtedly be Director of the Frick before too long, but he has only been appointed Chief Curator to replace Colin B. Bailey. Very boring to be so pedantic, but as your US readers will now be awake, thought it worth clarifying.
