The Whitney Museum of American Art

The Whitney Museum is dedicated to defining 20th- and 21st-century American art, collecting, exhibiting, preserving, researching, and interpreting the art of the United States within expansive global, historical, and interdisciplinary contexts. As a preeminent advocate for American art, it fosters the work of living artists at crucial junctures in their careers, educating a diverse public often before their art achieves widespread recognition.
