Spotlight tours offer an opportunity to slow down and look closely at select highlights from Human Interest: Portraits from the Whitney's Collection. Guided by a Museum docent, participants are encouraged to study and discuss works together. Each forty-five minute session either focuses on a single work of art, or explores a connection between two works. This session looks at Hollywood Africans (1983) by Jean-Michel Basquiat and Unveiling (1993) by Shirin Neshat.
November 2016–February 2017
Select Thursdays, 12 pm
Tours meet in the sixth-floor galleries.
