Detroit Art City: The DIA Documentary

December 17, 2013 by Marion Maneker

Detroit Art City

 

So how did all of this squabbling over the museum’s collection of masterpieces by Vincent van Gogh, Henri Matisse and Diego Rivera come about?

Henderson, a Pulitzer Prize winner and Detroit radio host, the film tells the story of the DIA’s relationship to the city and how its fate was placed in the hands of a bankruptcy judge and an emergency manager.
