Art Papers reads the Whitney's stars, in advance of the move to the new building.

While from the corner of Gansevoort and Washington Streets the Future Whitney looks nearly complete, activity continues both inside and out in preparation for the opening in spring 2015.

The Future Whitney is now on Google Street View. Have fun exploring our new neighborhood!

We're excited to partner with our new neighbors at the High Line on a public art series. Alex Katz's Katherine and Elizabeth will be the inaugural installation on the north-facing wall of 95 Horatio Street at the southern end of the High Line adjacent to the new building. 

Read more on ArtReview and look for it in the coming weeks!

A lovely view of the new building, framed with the greenery of the High Line. After this year's endless winter, summer is almost here!

"I think most artists use drawing the way a writer would make a draft. The drawings are being used to get to something else. Drawing is absolutely the connective tissue. It connects up everything they do."

Listen to Carter Foster, Steven and Ann Ames Curator of Drawing at The Whitney Museum of American Art, discuss his appreciation for drawing and introduce plans for the Future Whitney's new 'works on paper study room.'

[whitneymuseum]

When the Future Whitney opens next spring, its works on paper study center will allow scholars and students unprecedented access to the Museum’s vast array of twentieth and twenty-first century American drawings. In this Whitney Stories video, Carter Foster, Steven and Ann Ames Curator of Drawing, introduces plans for the space and describes the characteristics that make drawings a uniquely intimate form.
