- Description
Kent Monkman: Officer and Laughing Girl November 12, 2026 to February 22, 2027 The Frick Collection will present an installation of new paintings by the contemporary artist Kent Monkman (b. Canada, 1965), whose practice explores historic European art and narratives from an Indigenous perspective. For this project, Monkman takes inspiration from Officer and Laughing Girl (ca. 1657)—one of the Frick’s three paintings by the seventeenth-century Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer—to probe the ways in which it and other artworks of its time represented the effects of global trade and colonization.
