Auction Details
The Artists of the WPA
Swann Galleries will open the 2023 winter season on February 16 with the Artists of the WPA. The sale marks the house?s third annual presentation of this category. In keeping with past auctions, it features selections of paintings, drawings, prints, photographs, and posters by artists that participated in the various work programs created under Franklin Delano Roosevelt?s New Deal.
The majority of art created in the 1930s ? and until the United States entered World War II ? was Social Realism. Daniel Celentano?s animated rendering of a crowded New York subway car is a great example of this late 1930s realist style of American art.
