Gallery

The collections of the University Art Gallery include approximately 300 drawings, dating between C.E. 1500 and C.E. 1900; approximately 300 prints, including an exceptionally large collection of prints by the French 17th-century printmaker Jacques Callot; paintings by well-known American and Western Pennsylvania artists, including Gilbert Stuart, Rembrandt Peale, George Hetzel, Gertrude Quastler, Aaron Gorson, and William Gropper; paintings by modern Chinese artist, Ch'i Pai Shih, and selected paintings from past Carnegie Internationals.

Directors of this gallery have viewed their mission as providing space for the exhibition of Pittsburgh collections and works important for the history of Pittsburgh and Western Pennsylvania history, for mounting exhibitions related to the international and social missions of the University, and for mounting exhibitions related to the teaching mission of the department, involving as much as possible its students, both graduate and undergraduate.
