THE FRICK PITTSBURGH

7227 Reynolds St., Pittsburgh, PA

February 17–May 27, 2018

ABOUT THE EXHIBITION

In 2017, twenty contemporary artists were invited to respond to and produce new works that reference the art, objects, and social history of The Frick’s collections. 

Many contemporary artists are breathing new life into the ceramic medium by reviving and reinvigorating age-old concepts. This reinvention is distilled into the use of 18th-century processes and techniques to create new motifs and the depiction of stories inspired by history — often with a commentary or critique on modern society.

This topic is particularly relevant to the current state of the ceramics and museum field as it answers the questions of how history meets contemporary. How can artists draw on the rich artistic traditions of ceramic history while reinvigorating their relevance in a society that prizes the contemporary? Likewise, how can museums use contemporary ceramic art to illuminate and reinvigorate historic collections? The Frick Pittsburgh is committed to using the voices and artworks of contemporary artists to meaningfully engage our audience and our collections with issues and ideas relevant to the present day. Revive, Remix, Respond is an exciting opportunity to continue that dialogue.

Organized by Dawn Reid Brean, Associate Curator of Decorative Arts at The Frick Pittsburgh with Leslie Ferrin of Ferrin Contemporary, the museum has invited artists to submit work that is inspired by, responds to, or relates to historic ceramics in The Frick Pittsburgh’s permanent collection. Highlight’s from the museum’s collection include Clayton, the historic Gilded Age home of industrialist and art collector Henry Clay Frick and its impressive array of fine and decorative arts objects; 18th-century Chinese porcelains purchased by Frick from the collection of J. P. Morgan; and 18th-century French painting and decorative arts collected by Frick’s daughter, Helen Clay Frick.

The exhibition will consider the sources of inspiration shaping ceramics today and ways to keep clay vital in museums, schools, and artistic communities. These ideas directly relate to the organizing theme of NCECA 2018, CrossCurrents: Clay and Culture.

BIO

ABOUT

(B.1944, Tarentum, PA, lives and works in Pittsburgh, PA)

Edward Eberle has garnered wide recognition for work that combines narrative and geometric drawing with altered porcelain vessels. His wheel-thrown pieces are often covered with intricately detailed terra sigillata decoration or unadorned and assembled into figural, white porcelain sculptures that combine story with modified form.

Eberle has exhibited widely over the course of his career, including two one-man exhibitions at the Carnegie Museum of Art (1980, 1991) and one exhibition at the Columbus Museum of Art (1999). His work can be found in numerous private and public collections including the Carnegie Museum of Art (Pittsburgh, PA), Everson Museum (Syracuse, NY), Gardiner Museum (Toronto, ON), Los Angeles County Museum of Art (Los Angeles, CA), Museum of Fine Arts (Boston, MA), National Gallery of Australia, (Canberra, Australia), Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art (Kansas City, MO), Newark Museum of Art, (Newark, NJ), Philadelphia Museum of Art, (Philadelphia, PA), Racine Art Museum (Racine, WI), and Smithsonian American Art Museum (Washington, D.C.).

Eberle received his BFA (1967) from Edinboro State College (Edinboro, PA) and MFA (1972) from Alfred University (Alfred, NY). He taught at the Philadelphia College of Art and at Carnegie-Mellon University (Philadelphia, PA) for a total of fourteen years. Eberle has established his practice in Pittsburgh, PA since 1985, with studios in Millvale (1985-2010) and Homestead (2012-present).

EDWARD EBERLE: In Retrospect

This catalog was published by the Society for Contemporary Craft in support of Eberle’s 2016–2017 exhibits at:
Society for Contemporary Craft, Pittsburgh, PS
The Clay Studio, Philadelphia, PA
Houston Center for Contemporary Craft, Houston, TX

“The stories Eberle weaves may not necessarily correlate directly to his own experience, rather, draw upon universal mythologies and human psycho-dramas. The artist creates a humanitarian stage, unapologetically conveying involvement and detachment, self-expression and transcendence, stoicism and altruism.” — Peter Held
