Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney founded the museum in 1930 to support American artists. Its collection includes work by Edward Hopper, Georgia O’Keeffe, Alexander Calder and Faith Ringgold. Exhibitions continue to include work by living artists.
The current building pairs indoor galleries with outdoor exhibition terraces. A sheltered public plaza sits beneath the projecting entrance, and the lobby gallery is free to enter. Upper terraces look toward the High Line and the Hudson River.
