Whitney’s most ambitious display of its own collection

Associated media

Drawn entirely from the Whitney’s collection, ‘America Is Hard to See’ takes the inauguration of the Museum’s new building as an opportunity to re-examine the history of art in the United States from the beginning of the 20th century to the present. Comprising more than 600 works, the exhibition elaborates the themes, ideas, beliefs, and passions that have galvanized American artists in their struggle to work within and against established conventions, often directly engaging their political and social contexts. The exhibition—its title is taken from a poem by Robert Frost and also used by the filmmaker Emile de Antonio for one of his political documentaries—is the most ambitious display to date of the Museum’s collection. The exhibition is on through the summer, until 27 September, so do catch it if you are in New York.
