July 2017 at the Whitney Museum

While we went to the Whitney specifically to see the Calder exhibit, we certainly weren't going to skip the rest of the museum!  Take a peek at just a little bit of what we saw:

Anyone else get Benedict Cumberbatch vibes from this guy? I think it's the nose.

This is definitely the most interesting stairwell in the world.  I don't always volunteer to take the stairs, but I did at this museum!

The Whitney is a stunning building, nevermind the art. The views from their outside terraces are awesome.  It turns the whole of New York City into art!

Now that I don't live in NYC, I feel fine about posing with the Empire State Building.  ;)

Believe it or not, this was my very first time at the "new" Whitney.  I think they moved locations 3 years ago?  I don't know what took me so long.  I really enjoyed it!

Have you been to the Whitney?  What did you think?

Thanks for stopping by!

  • I was so excited to see the Elizabeth Catlett lino cuts! She graduated from The University of Iowa (my alma mater), which just named a new residence hall for her. This is significant, because as a black person attending the university in the late 1930s, she was not allowed to live in the dormitories. Her works are fabulous.
