Ibali lokwenyaniso emva kweyona minye iminyuziyamu encinci yehlabathi
UHenry Clay Frick ngumntu oyintanda kakhulu eMelika. Wazalelwa entshona iPennsylvania ukuya kwintsapho yamaMennonite, wenza iFrick & Inkampani, eyenza i-coke yensimbi, xa wayeneminyaka engama-20. Ngethuba lezemali lika-1873, u-Frick wathengisa amaqhinga akhe kwaye wadibana noCarnegie Steel. Xa wayeneminyaka engama-30 ubudala, wayengumgidi-mali.
Iqhwa laliqhaqhafaza kwaye likhaliphe ngokugqithiseleyo kumgca. Kungekudala emva kweentlanzi zoMkhukula waseJohnstown, udumo lwakhe olubi lwaluqiniswa kwizahluko ezibi kunazo zonke kwimbali yomsebenzi waseMelika.
Ngomnyaka we-1892 emva kwesiteleka esabizwa kwiHomestead Plant ephethe uAndrew Carnegie, iFrick yaziswa kwi-Detectors yasePerpererton, iqumrhu elikhuselekileyo lokhuseleko elisebenza njengabaphathi bezindlu. Iqhawe elinzima laqhambuka nabasebenzi ababetha. Emva kweeyure ezili-12 zokulwa okunamandla, abathathu be-Pinkertons kunye nabadlali abasixhenxe abafikile.
Nangona uCarnegie noFrick babambisana kuzo zonke izigqibo nge-telegraph, iFrick yaziwa kwi-press "njengowona mntu uyintandwa kakhulu eMelika". NgoJulayi 23, ngo-1892, i-anarchist ibonisa ukuba i-agent ye-job for the strikeers-atters yazama ukubulala i-Frick ngompu. Inkunzi ibetha iFrick ehlombe kunye ne-deputy sheriff ibanjwe ngumsundu ogwetyelwe iminyaka engama-22 entolongweni.
Iqhwa libuyele emsebenzini ngaphakathi kweveki kwaye yaqhubeka ikhulisa i-coke yayo kunye nobukhosi bentsimbi enye iminyaka elishumi. Wayexabana noCarnegie ekugqibeleni wathengisa izabelo zakhe kwinkampani ebizwa ngokuba yiFrick emva kokuthengwa nguJP Morgan .
Le nkampani yaba yi-US Steel.
Ngomnyaka we-1905, wathatha umhlala-phantsi eNew York apho wagxininisa kwingqokelela yakhe yobugcisa kwiminyaka yokugqibela yobomi bakhe. Ukukwazi ukuqokelela ekugqibeleni kuya kuba yinxalenye yemyuziyam yoluntu, iFrick yayinomnqweno oqinileyo wokuphucula umfanekiso wakhe womntu kunye nokusekwa kwelifa elihle, elungisiweyo.
Kwiminyaka elishumi yokuqala, i-Frick yayihlala kwi-Vanderbilt Mansion. Ngaphambi kokuba indlu yakhe ingakhiwa kwi "Row Millionaire's Row", wayenokwakha isakhiwo seLenox Library esithandwayo. Kamva wachitha iidola ezingama-5 kwiindlu zendlu ngenjongo yokuba ibe yimyuziyam yobugcisa emva kokuba yena nomkakhe babeswele. Ingqungquthela kukuba uxelele umakhi wakhe ukuba enze u-Andrew Carnegie indlu yase 91st Street kunye neFifth Avenue ibonakale ngathi "ngumthunzi wommbiwa" xa uthelekisa.
Emva kokufa kwe-Frick ngo-1919, uluntu luye lwafunda ukuba indlu iya kuba yimbulunga yolondolozo yoluntu. U-Adelaide, umfazi wakhe, wafa ngo-1931. Ngomnyaka olandelayo, umsebenzi waqalisa ukuguqula indlu yendalo kwimyuziyam. I-portico ekhuselekileyo yemyuziyam ekhonza njengeziko lembali lemyuziyamu namhlanje yongezwa kakhulu. Ngaphambi kokuba, loo ndawo yayiyeyona ndlela.
Xa i-museum yavulwa ngowe-1935, i-press kunye noluntu babemangalisa ngokubaluleka okungavamile. Abantu bakulibale ngokukhawuleza umsebenzi we-Frick kwaye uqokelelo lwakhe lobugcisa luyinto yaba lifa lakhe.
Namhlanje i-Frick Collection ithathwa njengenye yezona zinto ziqokelele kakhulu kwihlabathi. I-Frick yayinomfanekiso omkhulu "kwintambo yabaphathi abakhulu" kwaye yazuza imibala emikhulu ngo-Rembrandt, i-Vermeer, i-El Greco, i-Bellini ne-Turner.
Nangona i-museum ayinayo indlu eqhelekileyo ngexesha, kulula ukucinga ukuba i-Frick ehlala kwindlu yokuphakama kwexesha elibukhali.
