In the News
“In putting on its annual exhibition of sculpture, water-colors and drawings, the Whitney Museum has adhered to its traditional policy—and to its recent reaffirmation of faith in the art of today—by presenting a show that ranges from naturalistic to nonobjective and mirrors faithfully what is being done by artists in our time.” —The New York Times
“. . . it may be at once reported that the sculpture section is one of the most provocative and innately interesting the museum has yet assembled and that the water-color section, instead of being a mere adjunct to the sculpture, nearly runs away with the occasion, while the smaller drawing section stands up very well by itself.” —The New York Times
