About the Whitney As the preeminent institution devoted to the art of the United States, the Whitney Museum of American Art presents the full range of twentieth-century and contemporary American art, with a special focus on works by living artists. The Whitney is dedicated to collecting, preserving, interpreting, and exhibiting American art, and its collection—arguably the finest holding of twentieth-century American art in the world— is the Museum's key resource. The Museum's signature exhibition, the Biennial, is the country's leading survey of the most recent developments in American art.

Innovation has been a hallmark of the Whitney since its beginnings. It was the first museum dedicated to the work of living American artists and the first New York museum to present a major exhibition of a video artist (Nam June Paik in 1982). The Museum has consistently purchased works within the year they were created, often well before the artists became broadly recognized. Designed by architect Renzo Piano and situated between the High Line and the Hudson River, the Whitney's new building vastly increases the Museum’s exhibition and programming space, providing the most expansive view ever of its unsurpassed collection of modern and contemporary American art.

Sobre el Whitney Como institución preeminente dedicada al arte de los Estados Unidos, el Whitney Museum of American Art presenta toda la gama de arte estadounidense contemporáneo y del siglo XX, con un enfoque especial en obras de artistas vivos. The Whitney está dedicado a coleccionar, preservar, interpretar y exhibir el arte estadounidense, y su colección, posiblemente la mejor muestra del arte estadounidense del siglo XX en el mundo, es el recurso clave del Museo. La exposición de la firma del museo, la Bienal, es la principal encuesta del país sobre los desarrollos más recientes en el arte estadounidense.

La innovación ha sido un sello distintivo del Whitney desde sus inicios. Fue el primer museo dedicado a la obra de artistas estadounidenses vivos y el primer museo de Nueva York en presentar una gran exposición de un artista de video (Nam June Paik en 1982). El Museo ha comprado consistentemente obras en el año en que fueron creadas, a menudo mucho antes de que los artistas fueran ampliamente reconocidos Diseñado por el arquitecto Renzo Piano y situado entre la High Line y el río Hudson, el nuevo edificio del Whitney aumenta enormemente el espacio de exposición y programación del museo,

proporcionando la visión más amplia de su colección insuperable de arte americano moderno y contemporáneo
