Art Deco was an exuberant, colorful, eclectic
style of the 1920s and 1930s that was applied to everything from tea
services to skyscrapers, from fashion design to movie sets. Brought
to wide public attention at the World's Fair in Paris in 1925, Art
Deco rapidly became popular in the United States, from the angular,
geometrical style of the 1920s through the aerodynamic style of the
1930s. Newly commissioned photograph of Art Deco buildings in Pittsburgh
are featured.

Treasure Room
This exhibition focuses on the human figure
in over forty eighteenth- to twentieth-century Wedgwood basalt and
jasper ceramic wares on loan from the finest private collections in
New England. Found on such ornamental objects as cameos, vases, and
plaques, the human figure may appear as part of the object's outward
form, as a handle, for instance, or as applied decoration. Portrait
medallions and busts were other ways of presenting the human figure.
Historical and mythological figures and well-known personalities of
the day are depicted on many of these objects.
The Figure in Wedgwood was organized in honor of
the 44th Wedgwood International Seminar, which will be held April
14-18, 1999, at the Carnegie Museum of Art.

Heinz Architectural Center
The exhibition explores one of the
most remarkable architect/client relationships in the history of American
architecture. This relationship, based on a belief in the power of
design to transform the lives of those it touched, was shared by Pittsburgh
department store owner and civic leader Edgar J. Kaufmann, Sr., and
Frank Lloyd Wright. Together, they produced Fallingwater, one of the
icons of twentieth-century architecture. Kaufmann and his son, Edgar
Kaufmann, Jr. subsequently commissioned more than a dozen other projects
from Wright, including several of his most visionary designs. All
these projects will be presented in the exhibition using original
drawings, many being shown for the first time.
Merchant Prince and Master Builder: Edgar J. Kaufmann
and Frank Lloyd Wright was organized by the Carnegie Museum
of Art's Heinz Architectural Center in cooperation with The Frank
Lloyd Wright Foundation, Scottsdale, Arizona. Support for the exhibition
has been provided by the Henry Luce Foundation. Additional support
has been provided by Kaufmann's, A Division of the May Department
Stores Company, and The Alexander C. and Tillie S. Speyer Foundation.
The programs of the Heinz Architectural Center are made possible
by the generous support of the Drue Heinz Trust.
