The artwork of such illustrious Carnegie Mellon alumni as Andy Warhol, Mel Bochner, Joyce Kozloff, Deborah Kass, Philip Pearlstein and John Currin highlight “100% Centennial,” the new exhibit in the Regina Miller Gallery celebrating the College of Fine Arts 100th anniversary.
The exhibit, which runs through March 5, is 100% Carnegie Mellon as the gallery’s three floors include works by alumni representing all five of the college’s schools—artists, musicians, architects, designers and those in the drama fields.
The third floor features “100% Centennial: Collecting CFA.” This exhibit focuses on works by prominent alumni artists from the collections of The Butler Institute of American Art, The Carnegie Museum of Art, The Andy Warhol Museum, Milton and Sheila Fine, Marshall and Wallace Katz, and other private collections.
The second floor presents “100% Centennial: Wall-to-Wall CFA,” an energetic and inclusive salon-style installation of digitally documented and physical works encompassing the diversity of CFA graduates.
The ground floor welcomes visitors with “100% Centennial: Representing CFA.” This exhibit highlights documented static and/or time-based art forms through projections, video kiosks, headphones and monitors.
In addition to the abovementioned alumni artists, the show includes Dara Birnbaum of New York City, Renee Stout of Washington, D.C., Katherine Kuharic of St. Louis and Katie Grinnan, Raymond Saunders and James Welling of California.
The exhibit also features public monuments and commissions by artists like Jonathan Borofsky and Raymond Kaskey who have distinguished the urban landscapes of cities around the world. Also included are the works of distinguished artist professors such as Harvey Breverman at the University of Buffalo, Philip Morsberger, formerly at Oxford University and now emeritus at Augusta State University (Ga.), the late Ken Ferguson, emeritus at the Kansas City Art Institute, and Robert Lepper, who taught several of the prominent artists at Carnegie Mellon.
The 2005-06 academic year represents the centennial anniversary of the College of Fine Arts. In the fall of 1905 the first students matriculated in the School of Fine and Applied Arts at The Carnegie Technical Schools. The College of Fine Arts is a community of nationally and internationally recognized artists and professionals organized into: Architecture, Art, Design, Drama and Music, and their associated centers and programs.
