Clyde Hare: A Memorial Exhibition at Concept Art Gallery Pittsburgh PA

Clyde Hare: A Memorial Exhibition

Please join us NEXT SATURDAY, June 12th, for the opening of our Clyde Hare Memorial Exhibition. The afternoon begins at 4pm with a lecture about Hare's work by Linda Benedict-Jones, Curator of Photography, Carnegie Museum of Art. A reception will follow from 5-7pm.

Clyde Hare is best known for his work on the Pittsburgh Photographic Library (PPL) project. Hare worked with Russell Lee and Esther Bubley, among others, on the project, which documented the "Renaissance of Pittsburgh”--the transformation from a smoky steel producing city to a clean, 20th century metropolis.

The exhibition includes photographs from his PPL project work, assignments for national magazines such as Life, Fortune, and National Geographic, as well as photographs that were included in his 1958 solo exhibition at the Carnegie Institute. Additionally the exhibition features many rare vintage prints not exhibited previously.

In Memory of Pittsburgh Artist John Metzler

John Metzler was full of creative energy and it was easy to spot for the many people who had the chance to interact with him. In addition to the hours he spent on his own beautiful artworks and sculptures from reclaimed wood he was well known for working with other artists at the Urban Tree Forge as well as volunteering at Friends of the Pittsburgh Urban Forest and the work he did for the Pittsburgh Society of Sculptors. He will be sorely missed but will be easy to remember.

Scroll down to see images of John and just some of the amazing work he brought forth. Images are from Joey Kennedy, Randie Snow and the Urban Tree Forge blog.
