In focusing on art collecting in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania from 1890-1910 significant collectors of European art were identified and the artists they secured recorded. In this way, Pittsburgh, and specifically Henry Clay Frick, among others, were seen as patrons of a type of modern European painting that was supported by independent art dealers and public Salon exhibitions.
