What is the Whitney Museum of American Art?
"The Whitney is the only museum dedicated to American art and artists. Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney founded the Museum in 1930, taking a bold stand for American artists who were often overlooked. Today, the collection features works by over 4,000 artists, including luminaries like Edward Hopper, Georgia O’Keeffe, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Alexander Calder, and Faith Ringgold. Their signature exhibition, the Whitney Biennial, is the longest-running survey of American art, where artists test boundaries, spark conversation, and shape culture." — Whitney Museum of American Art, About Us
