The International is one of the oldest recurring exhibitions in the world— second only to the Venice Biennial and only by a few months. That’s a century old receipt. Now, alternative spaces, creative incubators, and artist-run galleries have emerged every decade since and hold their weight against the major institutions and universities built by the industrialist magnates of yesteryear (think the Carnegies, Mellons and Fricks). Plus, there’s no shortage of talent born in this town— August Wilson, Andy Warhol, Romare Bearden, Wiz Khalifa, and the late Mac Miller to name a few. The City of Champions, indeed.

  • Carnegie Institute: History, Architecture, Collections
    FRICK FINE ARTS LIBRARY The Carnegie Institute: History, Architecture, Collections Library Guide Series, No. 40 “Qui scit ubi scientia sit, ille est proximus habenti.” -- Brunetiere* An Introduction Andrew Carnegie, the founder of The Carnegie Institute, was an American industrialist who worked in the fields of the railroad, oil and became a baron of the iron and steel industries. During his lifetime he donated more than $350 million to a variety of social, educational and cultural causes, the best known of which was his support of the free public library movement. He gave grants for 3,000 library buildings in the English- speaking world between the late 1890s and 1917. The first Carnegie Library opened in 1889 and was built in Braddock, PA near the location of his largest steel mill. The second library opened in Allegheny City during 1890. Carnegie’s most ambitious cultural creation, however, was the Carnegie Institute in Pittsburgh which included a library, natural history museum, art gallery, and concert hall that were designed by Alden and Harlow between 1891-1907. Few people outside of Pittsburgh know that Andrew Carnegie was also involved in the art world of his day, creating the Art Gallery portion of the Carnegie Institute that is now known as the Carnegie Museum of Art and also beginning what has become one of the oldest international art exhibitions in the world – the Carnegie International in 1896. A little more than a century later the Carnegie Museum of Art had grown to include The Andy Warhol Museum of Art and the Heinz Architectural Center.
