Here’s an exhibition on my list to visit the next time I’m in the city: Frick’s Vermeers Reunited at, of course, the Frick.  The steel giant owned three of the mysterious Northern master’s enigmatic paintings, which are usually displayed in separate areas of the mansion-museum.  At this point, because there are so few uncontested Vermeers (the usual number is 36, give or take), his paintings almost never travel and, as a result, it’s very rare to be able to see even a few Vermeers right next to each other.  This is a fantastic opportunity to compare three very different Vermeers from various periods during his life, right next to each other.
