What To Expect

Whitney Museum of American Art

As the preeminent institution devoted to the art of the United States, the Whitney Museum of American Art presents the full range of 20th century and contemporary American art, with a special focus on works by living artists. The Whitney is dedicated to collecting, preserving, interpreting, and exhibiting American art, and its collection—the finest holding of twentieth-century American art in the world—is it’s key resource. The Museum's signature exhibition, the Biennial, is the country's leading survey of the most recent developments in American art. Designed by architect Renzo Piano and situated between the High Line and the Hudson River, the Whitney's new building vastly increases the Museum’s exhibition and programming space, providing the most expansive view ever of its unsurpassed collection of modern and contemporary American art. Enjoy iconic works by Edward Hopper, Jackson Pollack, and Georgia O'Keeffe in natural light filled galleries and sweeping views of Manhattan on the Museum’s outdoor observation decks. The Whitney welcomes you to the Meatpacking District, a 20 square-block neighborhood with a bustling community of artists, galleries, restaurants, and nightlife. The Museum is steps from the High Line, Chelsea Market, and a short walk from Greenwich Village, where the Museum was founded by Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney in 1930.

A great museum. The Biennale was a lot of fun. Always interesting to see what’s new and going on. The shop is really cool. The cafe on ground floor is delicious. A great place.

My second visit to the Whitney (first was Oct 2019 and the left overs of the biennial) I got to see the entire biennial this time, and it did not disappoint. Varied pieces that were thought provoking, and interesting use of different mediums. Very creative and lots of Audi-visuals this go round. 2min to-60min “short films”, i was there a little over 3hours and never bored. Highly recommend it As museums go, it’s set up is the norm. Plenty of museum assistants around to help you or answer questions. My questions were mostly “where’s the placard for certain pieces”. They were also on guard to ensure you don’t touch things and to make sure you “wear your backpack on your front” to avoid bumping patrons or displays The lighting was good: light where it needed to be light, and dark where it needed to be dark. IMO one of the “loud displays” (helicopters) should NOT have been directly across from another audio-visual interview”. The LOUD distracted from the other -and could have easily been separated to a different floor, or on the opposite wing of the floor An observation of the biennial: the entry wall speaks to how the 2021 show was delayed due to Covid. And that, since 2019 we’d had a global pandemic (begin), an election, protest of racial injustice, (and though they didn’t mention this: a political uprising). But, to my recollection there was only one piece of art about Covid (short film of Harts island NY where many victims of Covid were buried). And one piece-also a short film of a peaceful protest, turned combatant, during the summer of racial awakening of disparity of justice Zero of the historical election and none of the subsequent insurrection I suppose it’s plausible that the “2021” pieces had mostly been chosen by the end of the 2019 show. Or perhaps the museum PURPOSEFULLY did not want to dwell, or overly commit to said subject matter. However, in that these events have never occurred before in our lifetime, and likely will affect us in perpetuity, I would have thought more than two instances would have been on display But. I’m not a museum curator, nor do I have to keep “donors” happy. Often, we think problems are “others”, and if we ignore it long enough, it’ll go away. My only beef w the museum this go round was their “insistence” that you use your phone to purchase tics. Outside, a ways from the entrance there is a person on patrol who tries to direct you to the “QR”code to use your phone to go to the Whitney site and pay by credit card rather than go inside and do so at the front desk 1. Not all phones ack QR codes 2. I might not be phone savvy to do so 3. I simply might not want to stand outside in the cold/heat/rain w a phone in one hand and credit card in another to do so But they were pretty determined that the only reason I could go inside to the front desk was if I had issues w the website or if I had cash Obstinate, I went inside anyway-and was helped w no issue. Otherwise the visit was uneventful. I’d def recommend it as “thing to do in NYC”, if you like museums. Interestingly enough, my 2019 visit, seems I stayed nearly 5hrs, while this visit was only 3 despite my remeber ace so a lot more Audi-visuals this year

It is best to buy the tickets from the Whitney museum directly. Buying from a third party ends in non flexibility. I tried to change the time of our visit the same day, it wasn’t possible and non-refundable. As easy as this I lost $50! I’m an artist with an unstable pay for my work. This is ridiculous the terms and conditions in place. Making money off of people’s back!
