Collecting Biennials
-
- Richard Diebenkorn Girl Looking at Landscape, 1957.
Take the Whitney lift to floor five if a) you missed the past 80-or-so years of Biennials or b) your inner artiste is responsive to canonical last names like Pollock, Rauschenberg, de Kooning, Twombly, Rothko, Warhol, and Johns. All things considered, it's quite an impressive lead-in to this year's prestigious, 55-person survey, which arrives in just six weeks. George Condo and Charles Ray are among those featured in the 2010 overview in addition to this look back, which also displays past works by Cindy Sherman, Vija Celmins, Milton Avery, Cady Noland, Ruscha, Schnabel, Oldenburg... and the roll call goes on and on.

In 1976 when America was celebrating it's bicenntenial with an exhibit of 200 years of America art, there was a great demonstration at the Whitney Museum. The protest was because there was only 1 woman and no African Americans represented in the show. What has changed in the Whitney's curatorial DNA? Jim Alexander
Simply beautiful the colors and lines all works together very nicely
