In the Frame: Sculptor/painter Adrienne Heinrich

Adrienne Heinrich, who was the first to receive the Westmoreland's Exhibition Award in 1996, has put together works by women artists, beginning with the social commentary of Virginia Cuthbert's 1937 painting "Slum Clearance on Ruch's Hill, Pittsburgh" and a 19th-century "Crazy Quilt," and including an intimate, abstracted "Figure Drawing" by Eva Hesse and the book "Holy Cats by Andy Warhol's Mother." Heinrich brings the exhibition full circle with engaging works by contemporary local artists Aaronel deRoy Gruber, Jane Haskell, Diane Samuels and herself, subtly acknowledging the continuing vibrancy of the collection.

"In the Frame" is an occasional Post-Gazette video series on artists and the arts scene in Pittsburgh.
