Eldzier Cortor

Oct 16, 2024

This painting by Eldzier Cortor recently entered the Whitney's collection and along with it came a fascinating story. Curator Jennie Goldstein gives us some background on Day Clean (c. 1945–1946) and how it came to the Whitney. You can now see this work in our seventh floor collection galleries.
