Art at Noon is a series of free, informal, and informative talks in The Frick Art Museum auditorium. Stop by an "Art at Noon" talk during your lunch hour and feed your mind. Art at Noon isn't just about art history. Speakers have discussed music, literature, and anthropology in relation to our exhibitions, and we have had a frame conservator present a hands-on, one-hour course in identifying period frames. Past speakers have included noted art historians Gabriel Weisberg, Ann Sutherland Harris, and Aaron Sheon.
See an obscure art-house masterpiece, or a fondly remembered classic on the "big screen" at The Frick Art Museum auditorium. Films are selected to complement the scheduled exhibition and are guaranteed to send you back into the galleries afterwards to see things a bit differently. Past screenings have included René Clément's Gervaise, and Robert Altman's Vincent & Theo.

Exhibition: A Panorama of Pittsburgh--Nineteenth-Century Printed Views This exhibition and accompanying catalogue will provide an in-depth consideration of the history of printed views of Pittsburgh and printmaking in the city, leading to a better understanding of the story of the region as well as of the use of prints of cityscapes during the period. There have been no previous exhibitions that have studied this material systematically, using examples from private, public, corporate, and club collections in Pittsburgh, as well as institutions around the country. The accompanying catalogue will include an essay by guest curator, Christopher W. Lane and an extensive and scholarly catalogue listing of printed views of Pittsburgh. Lane is an expert on antique prints, maps and books. He has written Impressions of Niagara, documenting the Charles Rand Penney Collection of over 700 printed images of Niagara Falls, curated an exhibition of the Penney Collection at the Castellani Art Gallery, and assisted in assembling an international touring exhibition drawn from that collection. Lane is also known for his basic guides to map and print collecting, including What Is A Print? and A Guide to Collecting Historical Prints, and appears regularly as the print and map expert on The Antiques Roadshow. This exhibition, organized by the Frick Art & Historical Center, is part of the Frick’s contribution to the celebrations surrounding Pittsburgh’s 250th anniversary. This exhibition is organized by the Frick Art & Historical Center with support provided by the Allegheny Foundation, The Pittsburgh Foundation, the Eichleay Foundation, Mine Safety Appliances, and the Juliet Lea Hillman Simonds Foundation.
