Floor 5 and Untitled
Celebrate Mother’s Day with a before-hours tour of Grant Wood: American Gothic and Other Fables, followed by brunch at Untitled.
Grant Wood's American Gothic—the double portrait of a pitchfork-wielding farmer and a woman commonly presumed to be his wife—is perhaps the most recognizable painting in 20th century American art, an indelible icon of Americana, and certainly Wood's most famous artwork. But Wood's career consists of far more than one single painting. Grant Wood: American Gothic and Other Fables brings together the full range of his art, from his early Arts and Crafts decorative objects and Impressionist oils through his mature paintings, murals, and book illustrations.
Following the tour with a Whitney Teaching Fellow, guests enjoy a two-course brunch and cocktail at the Museum’s ground-floor restaurant, Untitled. Tax and gratuity excluded.
Guests will also receive a small commemorative gift.
This event has reached ticketing capacity.
