Art Advisors: Irene Walt
In 1968, Detroit Receiving, through the generosity of Michigan artists and friends of the hospital, began an art collection designed to provide an environment attractive to patients their families and staff.
The extensive and beautiful collection now consists of the major sculptures pictured on the web site and 800 paintings, works on paper, textiles and crafts. Over the years, the collection has been broadened by the addition of African beadwork, tapestries from the USA, Africa, and Columbia, a site specific Pewabic tile water fountain, and large photo murals in the Emergency Department. The collection, which continues to grow in scope and quality, retains its original purpose of lightening the burden of illness carried by patients and their families. It is a source of great price to all who work in the Detroit Medical Center.
