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.

Good luck to everyone running in the NYC Marathon today! 🏃💨 Exciting news: This year we're offering NYC Marathoners and their supporters a 20% discount on Museum admission through November 5. Marathoners can find the discount code in their Virtual Goody Bag, provided via email by NYRR. Check out this page from a Claes Oldenburg notebook featuring one of his many fantastical ideas for gigantic public sculptures. Legs were a recurring motif for the artist, who was equally fascinated by how certain everyday objects—like a clothespin or scissors—could resemble legs. — Claes Oldenburg, Notebook Page: Study for a Colossal Sculpture of a Woman's Legs, Running (detail), 1994.

Now open! Shifting Landscapes takes a fresh look at a traditional art historical genre: the landscape. The exhibition—which features artists such as María Berrio, Firelei Báez, and Jean-Michel Basquiat—explores how evolving political, ecological, and social issues motivate artists' representations of the world around them. Most of these works are on view for the first time. Read more + book tickets: https://lnkd.in/eXGcHGSe — María Berrio, A Universe of One, 2018.
