«Der heilige Lichtstrahl» is Markus Stricker's essay on the Frick Collection, published by GRIN Verlag in paperback (36 pages, in German).
The essay studies the reorientation of Henry Clay Frick's collection between 1895 and 1900: the magnate shifted from buying contemporary American artists to seeking European masters and sacred art, within the cultural status drive of New York's Gilded Age. The acquisition of Bellini's «San Francisco en éxtasis» marks that turning point.
Subtitle: «The Frick Collection: Ursachen für die Neuausrichtung der Sammlung von 1895 bis 1900». First edition published in April 2025.
