We’ll be visiting the Whitney’s new location on Thursday, 6/25. I can’t wait to check out the outdoor gallery on the fifth floor.
“Mary Heilmann’s site specific installation Sunset inaugurates the fifth-floor outdoor gallery with sculptural chairs and pink wall elements that play off the geometries of the building. The video Swan Song (1982), shown here for the first time, documents the destruction of the previous West Side Highway and includes footage of the Hudson River as well as the neighborhood surrounding the Whitney’s new home.”
