If you are in our greenhouse this summer, you will want to look up! 🌱

Abstract sculptures by a Pittsburgh-based artist will hang throughout the space and add a whimsical touch to the vibrant, flora-filled oasis.

The free exhibition, “Catching Sunbeams from the Porch Swing of Wisteria Castle,” opens on May 23 and will include never before seen works from Atticus Adams as well as a site-specific sculpture inspired by the Frick’s history, collections, and founder, Helen Clay Frick.

The exhibition will stay up through October 26 and offer perfect picture opportunities for your summer outings. If you take a picture in the exhibition, tag us!

Happy coincidence alert 🚨

When opening a new show, our curatorial team often paints the walls in our temporary galleries, drawing inspiration from the feeling and content of the exhibition.

For our latest limited-run exhibition, Kara Walker: Harper’s Pictorial History of the Civil War (Annotated), the team selected two wall colors—one called “Mink Violet” and the other, aptly named, “Silhouette.”

Walker, a superstar in the contemporary art world, is best known for her striking silhouettes, like the ones currently on display at our art museum. While many paints were considered for this show, “Silhouette” quickly became a top contender, with its name sealing the deal.

Book your ticket to see Kara Walker’s exhibition before it closes on May 25.

With the help of our glass vitrines, the Kara Walker exhibition’s tone is set before visitors step into the first gallery.

In the case at the entrance of the show, “The Wounded Drummer Boy,” an oil sketch by Eastman Johnson from The Frick Permanent Collection, hangs next to a loaned Kara Walker pop-up book from the 1997 Peter Norton Christmas Project.

Our assistant curator, Lauryn Smith, shares more insights into how these works were paired together to help establish one of the exhibition’s themes of unreliable narration.

Thanks to Kahren Jones Arbitman and Michael Arbitman for loaning us the Kara Walker book.

🔎 Find a piece of The Frick Pittsburgh at The Frick Collection's newly-reopened space!

On your next visit to The Frick Collection, keep an eye out for a japanned secretaire from our permanent collection. The ornate cabinet is on long-term loan to the Frick Collection and is on display in Henry’s New York bedroom gallery!

It sits next to "Comtesse d'Haussonville" by Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres — a fan favorite from Vermeer, Monet, Rembrandt: Forging the Frick Collections in Pittsburgh & New York. The portrait is one of many works The Frick Collection loaned to us for that landmark exhibition.
