Flora Yukhnovich has become well-known for her large-scale works that reinterpret and reframe the conventions of rococo painting in a style that feels at once classic and cutting-edge. Her canvases have the floridity and expert handling of colour that you might expect from Tiepolo, Fragonard et al., but with a much more abstract – even Abstract Expressionist – bent. For her exhibition at the Wallace Collection last year Yukhnovich responded directly to works from the museum’s collection by François Boucher. Now the Frick is mounting a site-specific installation by the artist, a vast mural lining the walls of the museum’s Cabinet Room, that pays tribute to Boucher’s Four Seasons, which he painted in 1775 for Madame de Pompadour and which hangs nearby in the West Vestibule (3 September–9 March 2026).
