Whitney Museum of American Art, New York City, New York, United States 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. 120 minutes

Those interested in Hopper, O’Keefe or Basquiat are in the right place. On top is the great architecture and the view from one of the numerous roof terraces.
One of the few museums in New York that can be captured with a visit ;)

Having heard so much about The Whitney and as a lover of American art, I decided to give it a try. The building itself is very large and spacious, with plenty of room (the opposite of MOMA). But the collection itself left a lot to be desired; a few artists I knew and most I didn’t. Good exhibit on Alvin Ailey, but he’s known more for dance. And even thought it’s American anrt, I saw nothing before about 1890. All in all, not worth $30.

In a museum of this size and based on American Art, one would expect to find the substance of American painting in the 20th and 21st centuries. But the museum presents American painting only in a disjointed way and with so many gaps and dead ends that it was astonishing. Apart from Hopper, well represented, O'Keefe is present with only one painting exposed, and Basquiat, Motherwell, Haring etc. are totally absent.
That's a big disappointment. The scenography is not transcendent either. It's just plan plan plan. Videos, but not directly related to art, on gender issues, a contemporary obsession. Not that it's interesting, but is it the place in a museum about American art, and that presents so few works?
The view from, in particular, the terrace of the cafeteria, is definitely worth a visit. Beautiful panoramas can be seen on the Hudson River. But as usual, the cafeteria Awards are... excessive.
It is somewhat the same Impression as with the Guggenheim: monumental architecture by Renzo Piano, plethora of stores (21 000 works), but in the end, an almost empty shell.
Do not go to this museum thinking that you will access the substantial marrow of American art... You may be very disappointed.
The surroundings of the museum and in particular this sandy beach is very nice.
