On International Women's Day today, we're honoring our founder Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney.
In the beginning of the twentieth century, Mrs. Whitney—a sculptor herself—saw that American artists with new ideas had trouble exhibiting or selling their work. She began purchasing and showing their artwork, eventually becoming the leading patron of American art from 1907 until her death in 1942.
In 1914, Mrs. Whitney established the Whitney Studio in Greenwich Village, and by 1929 she had assembled a collection of more than 500 pieces. After her offer of this gift to the Met was declined, she set up her own institution, one with a distinctive mandate: to focus exclusively on the art and artists of the US. This year, the Whitney will celebrate its 92nd anniversary.
