The Renaissance Fakes of Pittsburgh
Nuhu Osman Attah tells the story of how Helen Clay Frick saved the University of Pittsburgh fine arts program which included a new building to house the program, the Frick Fine Arts Building in Oakland. Art provided by Helen Clay Frick in the museum was discovered to be fakes!
Pittsburgh’s public art could be likened to the city’s fingerprint. It is unique, celebratory of local voices, and a testament to its post-industrial landscape.
As public art invites everyone to interact with the creative spirit of Pittsburgh, The (New) Pittsburgh Exposition offers seven public art sites in and around the city that have helped define its civic art scene.
