CARNEGIE HALL ART WALK
BUY ART. SUPPORT ARTISTS. SUPPORT CARNEGIE HALL.

Experience the first retrospective solo exhibition of Carl Frederick Gaertner (1898–1952) in over twenty years—and the very first in West Virginia. A nationally recognized painter from Cleveland, Ohio, Gaertner is celebrated for his evocative depictions of industrial landscapes, rural life, and transitional moments in art and society.

Curated by Gaertner’s granddaughter and West Virginia resident Erin Gaertner, in collaboration with Carnegie Hall’s Education Director Harmony Flora, this exhibition brings together family-held works, artifacts, and prize-winning pieces from the Cleveland Museum of Art’s May Shows. Visitors will see never-before-exhibited works and a remarkable homecoming of Gaertner’s Greenbrier Valley art, displayed in the region for the first time since their creation.
