Join us for an opening celebration of Edward Hopper’s New York and In the Balance: Between Painting and Sculpture, 1965–1985 along with curatorial staff and fellow supporters. 

Edward Hopper’s New York will be the first exhibition of its kind to focus on the artist’s rich and sustained relationship with the city he called home for nearly six decades, and In the Balance brings together artworks from the Whitney’s collection that showcase how sculpture can explore painting’s domain and how painting can take up sculptural concerns.

At the Dawn of a New Age: Early Twentieth-Century American Modernism, The Whitney’s Collection: Selections from 1900 to 1965, Time Management Techniques, and 2 Lizards will also be on view.
