Join artist Margaret Honda and Henry J. Heinz II Acting Director and Richard Armstrong Senior Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art Eric Crosby to celebrate the opening of Margaret Honda in Carnegie Museum of Art’s Forum Gallery.

For her solo exhibition at Carnegie Museum of Art, Honda (b. 1961, based in Los Angeles) has created a new singular, enigmatic sculpture. Painstakingly rendered in lifelike detail including internal organs and measuring nearly five feet long, the work is modeled after a frog-like form Honda observed in a Renaissance painting at the Pinacoteca Ambrosiana in Milan. Be the first to see it and hear about Honda’s creative process.

This in-gallery conversation with the artist and cocktail reception is free and open to the public, with a cash bar. Stay afterward for Third Thursday, Carnegie Museum of Art’s monthly evening event, for a discounted ticket of $5.
