On A Grand Scale: The Hall of Architecture
at 100 In celebration of the 100th anniversary of Carnegie Museum of Art’s Hall of Architecture, an exhibition surveying its installation of nearly 150 plaster architectural casts will be on view. While most of the large cast collections assembled by museums in the late 19th and early 20th centuries have been sold or dispersed, the Hall of Architecture has remained intact throughout its 100-year history and continues to impress visitors and inspire artists of all ages. The exhibition will feature architectural drawings, period photographs, and ephemera chronicling the history of Andrew Carnegie’s creation of the third largest cast collection in the world, as well as address the production of casts in the 19th century and how the Carnegie's casts came to Pittsburgh. 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. Picturing Childhood: Pictorialist
Family Photography, c. 1890–1940 Family portraiture, self-portraiture, and photography of domestic life from the late 19th century through the 1940s by three photographers with Pittsburgh ties are featured in this exhibition. Charles Hart Spencer (1852–1912), Charles H. Breed (1876–1950), and Walter Munhall (1901–1993) were all natives of the city. They captured a bygone era of middle- and upper-middle class family life through pictorialist portraiture, and they were part of a continuum of amateur photographers who helped to establish the traditions and conventions of the formal family photograph and the more casual family snapshot. Though Breed exhibited at the 1899 Pittsburgh Photographic Salon, he and Munhall are relatively unknown figures, and this exhibition provides an opportunity to showcase the strength of their work. Spencer was a socially prominent Pittsburgh resident and worked for Henry Clay Frick. His photographs were featured in the museum's 1997 exhibition Pittsburgh Revealed: Photographs since 1850. The photographs by Munhall are part of Carnegie Museum of Art's collection, while the Breed and Spencer photographs come from collections in New York City and Pittsburgh, respectively. 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. Popular Salon of the People: Associated Artists of Pittsburgh Annuals at Carnegie Museum of Art, 1910–2006 In conjunction with the 97th Associated Artists of Pittsburgh exhibition, the museum will present a complementary historical survey featuring the work of more than 75 notable artists who have participated in the annual survey shows. This component will reveal the importance of the exhibition to artists' careers and showcase the work of some of the most important artists who have lived and worked in Pittsburgh, including John Kane, Malcolm Parcell, Aaron Gorson, Samuel Rosenberg, Raymond Cimboli, Marie Kelly, Andy Warhol, Philip Pearlstein, and Jonathan Borofsky. Funding for the Popular Salon of the People was provided by the Benjamin Harris Memorial Fund, The Millie and Henry Berns Fund, the Albert B. Costa Fund, and the Christian and Gustav Elsholz Memorial Fund of The Pittsburgh Foundation, The Heinz Endowments, the Juliet Lea Hillman Simonds Foundation, and the Laurel Foundation.
Associated Artists of Pittsburgh 97th Annual Exhibition Founded by a loose-knit group of artists in 1910 to foster a love of the fine arts and to inculcate a true appreciation of what Pittsburgh artists do for the advancement of art, the Associated Artists of Pittsburgh (AAP) is still an artist-run membership organization. In 1911, following its first exhibition in the lobby of the Grand Opera House, AAP began to show annually at Carnegie Museum of Art. Each year the organization invites artists living within 150 miles of the city to submit work for this survey exhibition, which is now in its 97th year. Jurored by American contemporary artist Polly Apfelbaum, the 2007 exhibition features approximately 130 works in various media. 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.
