Outdoor art at the Whitney

The New Whitney museum - A spectacular view of American art

I toured the Exhibiton 'America is Hard to See' recently after the press preview. (The press preview was very crowded and i was unable to interview the curator). In this show, you learn a little history of the Museum. Begining with floor 1 ( although the guide suggests beginning with floor 8, you encounter the portrait of Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney, the founder of the Whitney. An artist and a patron of the arts, she started the Studio club in 1918, a space encouraging artists of the day to work and exhibit their art. .... Floor 7 : There is on view an incredible Lee Krasner - The Seasons. .....
