Since  its  inception  in  1931,  the  Whitney has championed American  art and artists by assembling a rich  permanent  collection  and  featuring a rigorous and varied schedule  of exhibition programs. By emphasizing seminal artists and artworks  from the twentieth and twenty-first  centuries, our curators organize important exhibitions of American art  both from our holdings and from  the prestigious collections of individuals and institutions worldwide.
