We hope to see you at the Whitney!

Stewart
Uoo and Jana Euler are emblematic of an emerging group of artists whose
work interrogates how the social, technological, and cultural forces at
work today shape the contemporary "self.” In this exhibition, Uoo’s
dystopic cyborg-mannequins are juxtaposed with Euler’s multilayered
figurative painting within an environment design by Uoo. Seen together,
the works suggest new ways of thinking about contemporary portraiture.
ROBERT IRWIN: SCRIM VEIL—BLACK RECTANGLE—NATURAL LIGHT, WHITNEY MUSEUM OF AMERICAN ART, NEW YORK (1977) Through September 1 "One of the masterpieces of Light and Space, or Minimalism in general"—The New York Times 
Scrim veil—Black rectangle—Natural light, Whitney Museum of American Art, New York
(1977), by Light and Space artist Robert Irwin, has not been exhibited
since its 1977 debut—a pivotal moment that set the course for Irwin’s
subsequent practice. Made specifically for the Museum’s fourth floor,
the large-scale installation engages the Whitney’s iconic Breuer
building and the light emanating from the gallery’s oversize window.
This is a unique opportunity to view a work that, per the artist’s
direction, may be shown only in this setting. 
"I,"
"you," "we": three very commonplace words. These pronouns—with all
their implied complexities of meaning—provide an unexpected guide for
assessing works of art from the 1980s and early '90s by artists like
Robert Mapplethorpe, Nan Goldin, and Felix Gonzalez-Torres, among
others. What becomes apparent in this survey of paintings, sculpture,
drawings, prints, and photographs is how the personal, social, and
collective issues and concerns of the artists of this time are still
relevant several decades later. 
This exhibition marks the U.S. premiere of David Hockney’s first video installation, The Jugglers, June 24th 2012
(2012). Filmed by eighteen cameras, a group of jugglers make up a
vibrantly kinetic composition as they move across a grid of eighteen
screens, accompanied by a lively musical soundtrack. The multiple
perspectives place the choice of where to look with the viewer,
demonstrating the artist’s exploration of technology’s ability to open
up new ways of looking at, and making, images.
Through October 6
"Illuminating and thrilling"—The New York Times
Hopper Drawing
is the first major exhibition to survey the drawings and working
process of Edward Hopper (1882–1967), pairing many of his iconic oil
paintings, including New York Movie (1939) and Nighthawks
(1942), with their preparatory studies and related works. Hopper’s
drawings reveal the continually evolving relationship between
observation and invention in the artist’s work, and his abiding interest
in motifs— New York’s urban fabric, the movie theater, the bedroom, the
road—to which he would return throughout his career.
AMERICAN LEGENDS: FROM CALDER TO O'KEEFFE Ongoing "One of [the Whitney's] best in years"—The New York Times 
American Legends: From Calder to O’Keeffe
showcases the Whitney’s deep holdings of artwork from the first half of
the twentieth century by the eighteen leading artists: Oscar Bluemner,
Charles Burchfield, Paul Cadmus, Alexander Calder, Joseph Cornell,
Ralston Crawford, Stuart Davis, Arthur Dove, Charles Demuth, Marsden
Hartley, Edward Hopper, Gaston Lachaise, Jacob Lawrence, John Marin,
Reginald Marsh, Elie Nadelman, Georgia O’Keeffe, and Joseph Stella.
Rotations of art and of artists will be made during the exhibition’s
yearlong duration. 
Artists
frequently think beyond the unique object, choosing to work with a
group of closely related images that together express an artistic vision
in its entirety. This ongoing installation, drawn from the Museum’s
extensive holding of works on paper, presents examples of this creative
process. Works by Dotty Attie, Mark Bradford, Carroll Dunham, Dan
Flavin, Jasper Johns, Elizabeth Murray, Lorna Simpson, Joyce Trieman,
and Terry Winters, among other artists, will be shown in rotation.
Wednesday, August 7 7 pm
Artist Park McArthur will present a selection of letters, images, and ephemera by artists included in the exhibition I, YOU, WE.
Personal and professional correspondence housed in the Whitney Museum
Library archive show a time that turned letters into emails, and writers
into typists looking at screens against a backdrop of identity
politics, class warfare, and censorship. Together, McArthur and Shira
Brisman, Mellon Postdoctoral fellow in art history at Columbia
University, will discuss the epistolary mode in relation to the
exhibition’s themes.
For parents with babies under 18 months Friday, August 2 12–1 pm
Whitney
teaching fellows, PhD candidates in art history, lead engaging tours of
current exhibitions for new moms and dads when the Museum is closed to
the public. Crying babies are welcome!
These unique watches are adorned with preparatory sketches by Edward Hopper.
