Floor Seven

Spotlight tours offer an opportunity to slow down and look closely at select highlights 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 Painting Number Five (1914–15) by Marsden Hartley, and Plant Forms (1912) by Arthur Dove.

February 18 and 25
2 pm

Tours meet in the seventh-floor galleries.

No reservations are necessary, but tours are limited to fifteen people welcome to join on a first come, first served basis.
