Here's What Everyone Wore to the 2023 Frick Young Fellows Ball

It’s not often one peruses through works by Degas, Rembrandt, Titian, and Van Dyck while a bass line thuds in the distance — which is what makes the Frick’s annual Young Fellows Ball so fun. It’s like prom for art history fans.

The Ball, a staple on the NYC social calendar, is one of the museum’s most anticipated events. But even by its usual standards this year had an unexpected turnout, with tickets selling out weeks in advance.

For the second year in a row the event was held at the Frick’s temporary location on Madison Avenue. Guests were treated to light bites, an open bar, and music by Angel + Dren. They were also able to stroll through the museum’s galleries, and got a peek of its current special exhibition, The Gregory Gift.
