Nine full-length paintings by Pierre-Auguste Renoir hang together for the first time at an exhibit opening Tuesday at the Frick Collection in New York.
Another Biltmore distinction: Most of the items on exhibit, from portraits by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, James Abbott McNeill Whistler and John Singer Sargent to the crystal, porcelain and Flemish tapestries, are original to the house and the family.
The consignment, which includes works by Henri de Toulouse Lautrec, Paul Gauguin, Pierre Bonnard and Pierre-Auguste Renoir, is led by a painting by Claude Monet.
