Aaronel deRoy Gruber - member
Aaronel deRoy Gruber graduated in 1940 from Pittsburgh’s Carnegie Institute of Technology and enjoyed a multifaceted artistic journey beginning with abstract painting and moving through sculpture in metal, dimensional works in plastics, and finally photography. A member of Group A (The Abstract Group) locally, she exhibited across the United States and with institutions throughout Europe and Asia.
The Irving and Aaronel deRoy Gruber Foundation was established in 2000 to support and promote the artwork of Aaronel deRoy Gruber (1918-2011) and to engage Pittsburgh-based and regional artists and initiatives connected to photography, sculpture and painting. The Foundation bolsters the imprint of a prominent female artist of the region and of her time, while aiming to perpetuate her commitment through its support of contemporary art-making and initiatives. The Foundation’s headquarters and curated gallery space is positioned to manifest their purpose through exhibitions, programming and interactions with audiences and art world professionals locally, nationally and internationally. Following an inaugural exhibition including a range of works exploring Aaronel's 60-year career, rotating installations and unique projects will be shared with the public and art community.
