Announcing Gilding the Gilded Age
Phase III of the digital collection, Documenting the Gilded Age, made possible by a grant from the Metropolitan New York Library Council (METRO), has been completed. A collaborative project, this phase includes material from The Frick Art Reference Library and The William Randolph Hearst Archive at LIU Post. Entitled Gilding the Gilded Age: Interior Decoration Tastes and Trends in New York City, the project focuses on the decorative arts and the important role auction sales and catalogs played in collecting during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
