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.

The Whitney Biennial never disappoints. This year's is " Quiet as It's Kept"; the central theme an examination of art in the current American experience. As with Biennials past, some of the works are quite intense and arresting and, once viewed, impossible to unsee. I would NOT recommend it as appropriate for kids under 14. The Whitney is certainly one of the most user friendly museums in N.Y.. All floors afford wonderful views of the Hudson River and some outside access. Comfortable seating and restrooms thoughtfully located. Timed tickets available on the museum's website. Arrive early and begin with a coffee or light bite in the ground floor bistro. Take the elevator to the top floor and walk your way down from each gallery, taking note of the playful and provocative placement of pieces in the stairwells. The museum is located at the southern end of The High Line in The Meatpacking District. Pay parking is available on the street for those who enjoy the thrill of the hunt, otherwise several pricey lots are available on Jane Street. ADA accessible.

We first attempted to visit “The Whitney” in 2014, but it was closed the day we wanted to attend. It is definitely closed on Tuesdays. We wanted to view the Jeff Koons collection at the time. This museum focuses on American Art from the 20th and 21st century. In the gift shop, there are Jeff Koons Magenta Dog plates for sale at $11,000. If you are a member to the museum, a ten percent discount is honored. Koons balloon stainless steel animals’ sculptures are indeed stunning. We actually walked down from 35th Street to Gansevoort St. where the museum is now located since 2015. We found the walk doable and fun going from one neighborhood to another. We did purchase our senior tickets on-line. There was a wait even on a cold morning in early April for the 10:00AM opening. The line does move quickly though. We almost went in 2019, but two floors were closed, the 5th and 6th floors. Again in 2022, the same floors were closed for Members Only exhibition. We decided to see the other floors for $36 senior tickets. It was well worth it. We have enjoyed the café on the 1st floor. They have the very best coffee. There are free refills. People seemed to be enjoying their pastry too. Don’t over-look this café! A very large elevator that could easily carry 50 or so people take you up. We did get views of the 5th and 6th floors! The 8th floor is the top floor. Beautiful vistas can be had on the large balcony outside. Down below one can see the elevator greenway “High-Line” trail. This was once an elevated railroad, now a walkway for about a mile. We highly recommend a visit to the 8th floor just for the views alone. It was recommended to start from the 8th floor and work down. The first artwork we came to was by a young artist known as Jennifer Packer. The founder of this museum, Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney, wanted to present new artists to the American public. There is a beautiful painting of Gertrude on the 8th floor. She had no intention of starting any art museum until the Metropolitan Museum of Art refused her donation of 500 paintings in 1929. Gertrude saw the need to celebrate “America’s Art.” We do have a few favorite paintings in this museum. We did enjoy the oldest art-work in the museum from 1918, “New York/Liberty” by Florine Stettheimer which celebrated the end of WWI. The colors and geometric designs are stunning. We always enjoy seeing paintings from Georgia O’Keeffe. There is even a self-portrait of Edward Hopper. His “Nighthawks” in the Chicago Museum of Art is one of my favorite paintings. Visually, and being an aging athlete, I enjoyed George Bellows large painting of “Dempsey and Firpo.” Bellows painted this work in 1924; and he died in 1925. Our visit was about two hours long. The museum did allow one to take pictures without flash. Kudos to Gertrude and to the NYC art community of having this unique Manhattan Museum to enjoy.

Too many people and not very organised ART exhibition, too many pieces…the restaurant on the top floor has a kitchen that attenders need to cross a corridor to bring you food… who designed like this???
