In the News
“The old Whitney annuals used to alternate between painting and sculpture on alternate years, but the new art styles employing new media [. . .] do not permit such hard-and-fast categorization.” —The New York Times
“The Whitney, ever yearning to get with it, has tried to give us a playground—that is exactly what the biennial suggests, a kind of mail-order jungle gym—but we’ve outgrown it.” —The New York Times
“. . . the entire exhibition space is now filled to the top with the works of art, near-art, non-art, anti-art, pseudo-art and you-name-it that make up this survey of what is going on just now.” —The New York Times
“. . . an energetic attempt to encompass a broad spectrum of styles and methods and ideas—particularly the new ideas—that now determine the forms that art is given, and the exhibition does succeed in embracing a great diversity of statement.” —The New York Times
“We should not be surprised [. . .] that the Whitney show—which fills all five floors of the museum—takes a sort of liberal, all-things-to-all-men attitude toward the current art scene.” —The New York Times
