he Rourke Art Gallery + Museum is proud to be working in collaboration with the Minnesota State University Moorhead's Art Annex Gallery for this retrospective. Each gallery will be exhibiting half of the Walter Piehl Jr. Retrospective.

This retrospective showcases the scope of Walter's career from his early exploration as a student at Concordia College, Moorhead, MN, and the University of North Dakota, Grand Forks, ND, to the development of his signature style and method—as he would say it—of ‘putting on paint.’ The exhibition gives the viewers the opportunity to visually experience the evolution of an artist's style, looking at 56 years of creative energy.
