The long lost City Landscape oil painting by Francis Criss, which was shown on the “Antiques Roadshow” segment, Lost New Deal Artwork, that featured GSA’s New Deal Art recovery project, has been located. It was found by a GSA employee "buried with other artifacts (nothing significant)" in the corner of their lighting room in the Birch Bayh Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse in Indianapolis, Indiana. The Office of Inspector General has contacted the FBI to have the painting removed from the National Stolen Art File.
The painting is scheduled to be transported to Washington, DC, and GSA will have a conservator review its condition. GSA will also begin to research possible museums that may have an interest in borrowing the painting.
