Museums
and Collections
You
can find William Gropper’s art in museums, galleries, government
buildings and universities around the world. Drawings and paintings
are in New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art and Museum of
Modern Art, and in Washington, D.C.’s National Gallery of
Art and Smithsonian.
His
mural, The Construction of a Dam graces the Department
of the Interior building in Washington, D.C. Another government-commissioned
mural, this one about the automobile industry, now adorns the Student
Center lounge at Wayne State University. It was moved from its original
home at Detroit’s Northwestern Branch Post Office in 1971.
The
artist’s stained glass windows depicting familiar stories
from the Book of Genesis can be seen at the Temple Har Zion in River
Forest, Illinois.
