Lucian
Freud: Etchings from the PaineWebber Art Collection, organized
by the Yale center for British Art, is made possible by PaineWebber
Group Inc. General support for the exhibition program at Carnegie
Museum of Art is provided by grants from the Heinz Endowments
and the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts.
In the 1940s, Lucian Freud had a short career as a skillful
and talented etcher. He turned away from the medium for more
than 30 years and became renowned as a realist painter. In 1982,
he returned to printmaking, creating portraits and studies of
the naked figure that achieved a comparable power and intensity
to his paintings while carrying their own special magnetism.
The forty-two etchings in this exhibition, which was organized
by The Yale Center for British Art, provide an almost complete
representation of his work since that time.

Heinz Architectural Center
|
|
|
|
The
re-opening of the newly expanded Heinz Architectural Center
offers an opportunity to take a fresh look at the Center's collection
of drawings, photographs, models, and rare books. The first
collaboration of the Center's new curatorial team, Inside
Out will draw unexpected connections among objects in the
collection, identify points of thematic continuity and explore
recent changes in forms of architectural representation. Recent
acquisitions of works by Neil Denari, Michael Graves, Arata
Isozaki, Fumihiko Maki, Bernard Tschumi, Lebbeus Woods, and
other current practitioners, will be exhibited for the first
time.
The programs of Heinz Architectural Center are made possible
by the generous support of the Drue Heinz Trust.

Aluminum
first captured the public imagination in the mid-nineteenth
century when this then-precious metal was more highly prized
than silver and gold. In 1886, following the invention of a
process for producing aluminum cheaply using electricity, the
price of aluminum dropped dramatically, and the quantities of
aluminum produced increased as companies such as the Pittsburgh
Reduction Company (later the Aluminum Company of America, now
Alcoa) were established. Aluminum was poised to move beyond
its limited luxury, novelty, and specialist markets to revolutionize
industry and daily life: it was a new material for a new century.
This ground-breaking exhibition explores aluminum as a major
contributor to shaping twentieth-century culture and society
in architecture, design, and industrial applications.
Aluminum by Design: Jewlery to Jets
is made possible by the generous sponsorship of the Alcoa
Foundation
.
Significant support has also been provided
by Audi

Additional major support has also been provided
by The Roy A. Hunt Foundation, The Arthur Vining Davis Foundations,

This
exhibition displays highlights from eight outstanding, private
Pennsylvania collections of aluminum decorative and household
objects. Its major theme is emphasizing the motivations, passions,
and joys of collecting. Some of the collectors, like Dr. Thomas
Armour and Clayton Sheasley Jr., sons of important manufacturers
of aluminum objects, want to preserve a family heritage. Others
have amassed fine collections based on a scholarly and systematic
approach to collecting the metal. Still others, like Sherry
Kudranski of Plum, Pennsylvania, whose colorful, commonplace
collection of anodized aluminum ice cream scoops sparks feelings
of familiarity, acquire the objects simply because of the love
they have for them.
General support for the exhibition program at Carnegie Museum
of Art is provided by grants from The Heinz Endowments and the
Pennsylvania Council on the Arts.

Aluminum
in Contemporary Architecture will examine the extraordinary
range of architectural uses of aluminum in the past two decades.
Aluminum is an ideal material for architectural applications
because of its light weight, strength, longevity, weather resistance,
reflectivity, and recyclability. These qualities have enabled
architects to produce innovative solutions to building problems
at every scale, from ski huts to corporate headquarters. The
exhibition uses architectural drawings, models, and photographs
to explore aluminum's great versatility as an architectural
material.
