About this audio guide
This guide to the Frick Collection follows Henry Clay Frick through the July 1892 afternoon a young anarchist named Alexander Berkman walked into his Pittsburgh office with a revolver, and the labor war at Andrew Carnegie's Homestead steel plant that brought him there. It traces the bitter rift the attack opened between Frick and Carnegie, two men who built fortunes together and then refused to speak for years. Listen for how that same iron will shaped the sixteen galleries of Rembrandts and Vermeers around you.
