Description:
Founded by Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney in 1931, the Whitney is one of the most well known contemporary art museums in the country. American art from 1900 to the present is exhibited, highlighted by works from such notable artists as Edward Hopper, Alexander Calder, Georgia O'Keeffe, Louise Nevelson, Mark Rothko, Jackson Pollock, Claes Oldenburg, Louise Bourgeois, Jasper Johns, and Cy Twombly. The museum's present home is a Marcel Breuer designed building originally constructed in 1966. And no trip to the Whitney would be complete without a meal at the award-winning Sarabeth's restaurant.
