About the Whitney
Designed by internationally renowned architect Renzo Piano, the museum is the jewel of the Meatpacking District, alongside new NYC attractions including the High Line and nearby Hudson Yards. Since Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney initiated this invitational exhibition in 1932, the Biennial is still the longest running survey of American art.
About the Whitney Biennial
The Whitney Biennial is a must-see for anyone who wants to see the art of the moment – paintings, sculptures, installations, photography and more by over 75 artists specially chosen by the Biennial curatorial team.
What makes the Biennial unique?
The Biennial was designed to express the voices of primarily young emerging artists with the majority under forty-years old. This year, female artists are represented in record breaking numbers. The curators traveled the country looking for diversity in artist backgrounds and artistic expression with a message – from body image and gender identity, politics and current events, ethnicity, physical disabilities, social and community issues. This is an edgy, not pretty exhibition – their mission is to provoke thought and appeal to the way people look at their world today.
