Long-Lost Painting by John Sloan now on View at Detroit Institute of Arts
Detroit, MI – It’s been an unusual journey from Fourteenth
Street in New York to Woodward Avenue in Detroit for a painting created by
American artist John Sloan. Sloan painted Fourteenth Street at
Sixth Avenue in 1934 for the Public Works of Art Project (PWAP), created to

officially missing since 1938, has been located and is now on long-term loan to
the Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA). It is on view outside the exhibition
Government Support for the Arts: WPA Prints from the 1930s through
March 21, 2010.
