The Frye’s Publications program reflects the museum’s dedication to supporting local and global artists and to fostering contemporary scholarship on historical subject matter.
Books
The Frye’s print catalogues offer a lasting record of the museum’s exhibition program and often provide emerging artists with their first publication. Whether uncovering a significant trend in contemporary art or presenting a new perspective on the museum’s collection, Frye books showcase the scholarship of the museum’s curatorial staff, as well as guest curators, artists, academics, and experts from an array of disciplines. Books are available for purchase online and by calling the Museum Store at 206 432 8201 or emailing store@fryemuseum.org.
