Whitney Museum of American Art says…

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.
