Doug Cooper: Knowing & Seeing the River City
On view through October 10, 2021
The Westmoreland Museum of American Art
Greensburg, Pennsylvania
Pittsburgh-based muralist Doug Cooper responds to works of art in the Museum’s “Scenes of Industry” collection. His work will be interspersed with the permanent collection to further tell the story of the Big Steel Era in Pittsburgh and the surrounding region.
This is the first time that the McKenna Gallery has been utilized in this way, offering visitors a fresh look at and interpretation of The Westmoreland’s permanent collection with the work of a contemporary artist.
