Panel Discussion: Looking & Learning - On Portraits of Pittsburgh

In partnership with the Heinz History Center, we will explore Smithsonian’s Portraits of Pittsburgh: Works from the National Portrait Gallery, currently on view at the Heinz. This program will bring together experts for a layered discussion of the history and politics of portraiture—through the History Center’s current exhibition, those found in The Frick Pittsburgh collection, and portraiture’s place within the art world. In conversation will be Charlotte Ickes, Curator of Time-Based Media and Special Projects at the National Portrait Gallery, Leslie Przbylek, Senior Curator at the Senator John Heinz History Center, and Dawn Reid Brean, Associate Curator of Decorative Arts at the Frick Pittsburgh.
