The Whitney Museum of American Art seeks to be the defining museum of twentieth- and twenty-first-century American art.
About us
The Whitney seeks to be the defining museum of 20th- and 21st-century American art. The Museum collects, exhibits, preserves, researches, and interprets art of the United States in the broadest global, historical and interdisciplinary contexts. As the preeminent advocate for American art, we foster the work of living artists at critical moments in their careers. The Whitney educates a diverse public through direct interaction with artists, often before their work has achieved general acceptance.

In conjunction with Holly Herndon and Mat Dryhurst's 2024 #WhitneyBiennial work xhairymutantx—a project that focuses on training data behind AI models, opening new possibilities for its use—teens from the Whitney's Youth Insights Leaders program spoke with Herndon for our podcast minisode series. The conversation explores how the artist's identity and creative process are influenced by artificial intelligence (AI). They talk about the ethical use of AI, if AI can elicit an emotional response to art, and the evolution of the art world to include machine learning models as an art form. 🎧 Check out the full minisode: https://lnkd.in/eQ3VVJR3

Archibald John Motley, Jr.'s Gettin' Religion (1948) from the collection is now on view in Edges of Ailey 🎺🎶 For Alvin Ailey, dance and music were art forms of and for the people, originating and enduring in homes, the streets, and other everyday spaces. Rather than see dance as merely a response to music, he saw that both allowed an artist to express the spectrum of their feelings and experiences—a pillar of Ailey’s creative philosophy. Experience this work among others by Lyle Ashton Harris, Sam Gilliam, and Jean-Michel Basquiat in the Black Music section of the exhibition.
