Whitney Museum of American Art Entry Tickets Overview
The Whitney Museum of American Art is the foremost institution dedicated to American art of the 20th and 21st centuries. Founded in 1930 by sculptor and collector Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney and moved to its current Renzo Piano-designed building on Gansevoort Street in the Meatpacking District in 2015, the museum holds a collection of over 25000 works by more than 4000 artists that defines the arc of American art across the past century.
The permanent collection spans painting, sculpture, photography, film, performance and new media with particular depth in American modernism and post-war abstraction. Edward Hopper's early American scenes and his defining urban paintings are represented across a substantial body of work. Georgia O'Keeffe, Mark Rothko, Jasper Johns, Cindy Sherman, Kara Walker and Jean-Michel Basquiat are all central to the collection. The museum also holds the largest collection of Alexander Calder works in any single institution.
The building is spectacular. Renzo Piano's asymmetric concrete and steel structure steps down toward the Hudson River with nine outdoor terraces that give views across the river, the High Line and the lower Manhattan skyline. The terraces are a destination in themselves. Friday evenings from 7 pm entry is free for all visitors and the museum stays open until 10 pm.
