This is the first exhibition to explore the work of Philip Pearlstein, Andy Warhol, and Dorothy Cantor as students at Carnegie Tech (now Carnegie Mellon University), and as young artists breaking into the New York art world in the early 1950s. The show features several of the artists’ assignments from Carnegie Tech, explores Pearlstein and Warhol’s early commercial design work in New York, and presents Cantor’s visual explorations of the built environment, as well as features a new never-before-exhibited series Pearlstein completed this year.

This exhibition explores the path that all three artists took from their early Pittsburgh roots to an ambitious start in New York. While they may have gone in different directions, their time together reveals their determination to break into the New York Art World. The exhibition features the artists’ assignments from Carnegie Tech, as well as explores Pearlstein and Warhol’s early commercial design work in New York. More than 50 drawings and paintings by Pearlstein and Cantor make their museum debut, supported by paintings and period photographs on loan and from The Warhol’s collection.
