The New Whitney

Just a few months ago the Whitney moved downtown to a Renzo Piano designed building nestled between the Highline and the Hudson River. Most of the all American works are very modern and not our most favorites. We did especially enjoy the top floor exhibit of the work of Alexander Motley and the very large sculptures and paintings of Frank Stella.
In an amazing coincidence as we were almost ready to leave the museum we bumped right into Wendy Weiden!  Just one step into an alternative gallery and we would have missed her.


View SW from inside the museum.  The Statue of Liberty can be seen in the distance just beyond the skyscrapers of Jersey City.

This view behind Al is SE with the Empire State Building in the distance.

From the 5th floor patio you cans see the beginning of the Highline.
