Reiseverlauf
Das Whitney Museum of American Art ist die bedeutendste Kunst-Institution der USA. Hier wird die gesamte Bandbreite der zeitgenössischen amerikanischen Kunst des 20. Jahrhunderts gezeigt, mit Schwerpunkt auf Werke noch lebender Künstler/-innen. Das Whitney hat es sich zum Ziel gesetzt, amerikanische Kunst zu sammeln, konservieren, interpretieren und auszustellen. Seine Kollektion ist die beste Sammlung amerikanischer Kunst aus dem 20. Jahrhundert weltweit und seine zentrale Ressource. Die Biennial-Ausstellung des Museums ist die führende Zusammenfassung der neuesten Entwicklungen in der amerikanischen Kunst. Das neue Gebäude von Whitney wurde vom Architekten Renzo Piano entworfen und liegt zwischen High Line und Hudson River. Es ist eine Erweiterung des Ausstellungs- und Programmbereichs des Museums und bietet den ausführlichsten Einblick in die beispiellose Sammlung moderner und zeitgenössischer amerikanischer Kunst. Genießen Sie berühmte Werke von Edward Hopper, Jackson Pollock und Georgia O'Keeffe in den lichtdurchfluteten Gängen und vor dem Hintergrund einer atemberaubenden Aussicht auf Manhattan auf den Aussichtsplattformen des Museums. Das Whitney heißt Sie Meatpacking-Viertel willkommen, einem 20-Block-Viertel mit einer lebhaften Community aus Künstlern, Galerien, Restaurants und einem vielseitigen Nachtleben. Das Museum befindet sich nur wenige Schritte von High Line, Chelsea Market und einen kurzen Fußweg von Greenwich Village entfernt, wo es 1930 von Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney gegründet wurde.

When you by on this site you will have to turn you voucher or shoe your phone in the ticket line to get tickets to enter.
It is an interesting building with beautiful views of the river. 8 floors. Start at the top. There are elevators. Full disclosure: this is a museum of modern American art. That is not my cup of tea. That said, there were many interesting pieces including Warhol and Hopper. We did the whole thing in about an hour. Easy subway ride and walk. We followed the directions on the website.
The art was interesting for the most part. But what really stands out for me is the building itself. It’s really pretty and dynamic and has crazy views of the city! We visited on a day when the entrance was free. Be sure to check that in advance —I highly recommend it. The only thing I didn’t like much (but it’s not really the museums fault) is the vibe of the visitors. Many were pretentious young people who clearly cared more about aesthetics and the DJ at the lobby than anything else.
The new Whitney Museum at the High Line is a building designed by Renzo Piano that contains one of the most interesting art collections in the city. The layout of the visit is very attractive as you can move through the interior using the elevators or entering and exiting the galleries to terraces that have views of New York. It is undoubtedly a recommended visit for those who enjoy 20th-century and early 21st-century art. Dedicate at least three or four hours to it.
Not the biggest collection, compared to The Met and MoMA. Some interesting exhibits but didn't take long to get through it all
The visit is pleasant, and the museum is clean, modern, and well-organized. However, if you are passing through New York with limited time, this is not necessarily a priority among all the must-sees in the city. The experience remains interesting, but in my opinion, there are other museums or activities that are more noteworthy to prioritize first.
Make sure if you click’2 adult tickets by mistake and you really need 2‘senior,’ know that you have to pay for 4 tickets even tho you think you’ve deleted the ‘2 adult.’
Don't Miss Calder's Circus! We went to The Whitney to see the Mary Heilmann exhibit, which consisted of one gallery with colorful walls and chairs. And frankly, this writer enjoyed sitting down for a moment after standing on the subway and then walking several blocks to the museum. Plus, the view out the windows of some unusual and rather whimsical, undulating architecture was spectacular (see photo). We had advanced tickets, but I'm not really sure we needed them. Prices are reasonable - $24 for seniors; $30 for adults... We really enjoyed the permanent collection, starting with the top floor and the Calder's Circus exhibit (see photos). Not only will you see the whimsical wire circus figures and paintings, but there's a film to watch with Calder himself, performing a little show with some of the figures. We walked through every floor of the museum, seeing some familiar artists, like Roy Lichtenstein, and many we were glad to learn about. I would estimate that two hours would be about right for a visit here. I am really glad we went to the Whitney.
An exceptional space with the best of a wide range of American art. Start at the top floor, walk through the galleries and pause for a time on the outside deck with views of Meatpacking the Highline, Little Island (Hudson River), and the city. The cafe serves pastries from Frenchette, and there are tables outside on the deck. After that walk down the outside staircase to the next galleries.
Very good museum with beautiful American art. Start from the last floor and continue down. There is also a terrace with beautiful views of the Village and New Jersey. Admire Hoppers, in addition to other American classics.
