As part of its contribution to the celebrations surrounding Pittsburgh’s 250th anniversary, the Frick Art & Historical Center presents the second of two exhibitions planned for 2008 examining the various ways the city has been depicted on paper by artists from the nineteenth century through the present. The exhibition A Panorama of Pittsburgh: Nineteenth-Century Printed Views 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. Guest curator Christopher W. 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 is organized by the Frick Art & Historical Center.
