June 15 – September 15The Ashcan School painter John Sloan
(1871–1951) was preoccupied with the New York City rooftop perhaps
more than any other American artist in the first half of the twentieth
century. This setting factors in some of his most iconic and
celebrated works, many of which focus on immigrant and working-class
subjects. This loan exhibition offers an in-depth examination of
Sloan’s decades-long fascination with the life of the urban rooftop
with nearly thirty of his paintings, prints, and drawings and an
additional thirty works from more than a dozen notable contemporaries,
including William Glackens, Reginald Marsh, Walter Rosenblum, Weegee,
and George Ault. From the Rooftops, which is organized by the Palmer
Museum of Art of The Pennsylvania State University, University Park,
Pennsylvania, is accompanied by a publication. Sponsored by Steven
and Stephanie Wasser, Brown and Fitzgerald, P.C., and David C.
