Catching Sunbeams from the Porch Swing of Wisteria Castle

Explore abstract sculptures by Pittsburgh-based artist Atticus Adams in "Catching Sunbeams from the Porch Swing of Wisteria Castle." Adams’ pieces — most made from metal mesh and wire — hang from the windows and ceilings of The Frick Pittsburgh's historic greenhouse, adding a whimsical touch to the vibrant, flora-filled oasis. The exhibition includes never before seen works as well as a site-specific sculpture inspired by the Frick’s history, collections, and founder, Helen Clay Frick.

About the Artist

Raised in West Virginia and currently residing in Pittsburgh, Atticus Adams considers his work Neo-Appalachian folk art, and much of it is inspired by his youth. His work has been displayed at the Carnegie Museum of Art, the Mattress Factory and The Westmoreland Museum of American Art. In 2018, he was named Artist of the Year by the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts.
