Harvey and Florence Zeve became members of Carnegie Museums’ exclusive
Patrons Circle by increasing their support.
There are many ways to be involved in Carnegie
Museums of Pittsburgh, and Harvey and Florence Zeve have taken advantage
of most of them. Longtime members of Carnegie Museums, last year
the Zeves joined the Carnegie Patrons Circle. The Carnegie Patrons
Circle recognizes donors who make leadership gifts to the annual sustaining
fund, and enables them to receive invitations to special parties and events.
According to Mr. Zeve, their decision to increase their support
was prompted by Mrs. Zeve. He says We both trustees of our colleges,
and we give a lot of support to these out-of-town institutions. One night,
Florence gave me a lecture about giving more to our local institutions.
I agree that we should.
Weve received a lot of
pleasure out of the museums over the years and we want others to enjoy
them as much as we do.
The call from Carnegie Museums inviting the Zeves to become members of
the Carnegie Patrons Circle came soon after, and they decided to join.
Says Mr. Zeve, Weve received a lot of pleasure out of the museums
over the years and we want others to enjoy them as much as we do.
The Zeves live within walking distance of the Oakland museums,
and visit about once a month. They bring their grandchildren and
out-of-town guests as often as they can.
If you would like to know more about becoming a member of the Carnegie
Patrons Circle, please call (412) 578-2472.
London at Two Millennia
June 8-18
Take a unique “archeological” tour of London
from the previous millennium to the current with hosts Thomas Sokolowski,
director of The Andy Warhol Museum, and Richard Armstrong, Henry J. Heinz
II Director of Carnegie Museum of Art.
Sokolowski will examine London institutions that shaped the city’s
past and present, while Armstrong will explore new institutions that are
defining its future.
Says Sokolowski, “We are going to ‘slice’ London into specific
archeological periods and examine how those eras defined how its collections
of art and other treasures were housed and displayed.” You’ll delve
into the past at the Victorian Opera Museum, Royal Albert Hall, and other
monuments to the Victorian era. You’ll also tour the east end of
London, once the center for Cockney life and now the city’s burgeoning
center for contemporary art.
You’ll get a glimpse of the future during visits to the Millennium
Dome and the new Tate Gallery of Modern Art. The Millennium Dome
is a monumental structure housing 14 zones, each with its own theme and
performance areas. The new Tate Gallery is a former power station
redesigned by Swiss architects Herzog and de Meuron. “The new Tate
promises to be Europe’s most important venue of contemporary art,” says
Armstrong. The Tate Gallery should provide an interesting contrast
to Frank O. Gehry’s celebrated Guggenheim Museum in Bilboa, Spain, which
you’ll see on a one-day side trip.
