That Frick, only apparently the quote is by Jay Gould. The quality of the Frick art collection is mainly due to Frick having hired Bernard Berenson, giving him an unlimited budget, and directing him to go to Europe and buy good stuff. Frick may not have known from art, but he was able to find out who did.
