The Whitney Women

As the Whitney prepares for its historic move downtown, Flora Miller Biddle discusses the three generations of "Whitney Women"--her grandmother Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney, who in 1914 founded the Whitney Studio in Greenwich Village, and in 1930 the Whitney Museum of American Art; her mother Flora Whitney Miller, who served as the Museum's President (1941-1966) and Chairman (1966-1974); and herself, who served as President (1977-1985) and is currently the Honorary Chairman of the Museum.
