Tour of the Whitney & Drinks

Join the Arts & Culture Club for a private tour of the Whitney's 'Human Interest: Portraits from the Whitney's Collection' on October 7th. After the tour we will sip wine while overlooking the New York skyline.

Human Interest: Portraits from the Whitney's Collection offers new perspectives on one of art's oldest genres. Drawn entirely from the Museum's holdings, the more than two hundred works in the exhibition show changing approaches to portraiture from the early 1900s until today. Bringing iconic works together with lesser-known examples and recent acquisitions in a range of mediums, the exhibition unfolds in eleven thematic sections on the sixth and seventh floors. Some of these groupings concentrate on focused periods of time, while others span the twentieth and twenty-first centuries to forge links between the past and the present. This sense of connection is one of portraiture's most important aims, whether memorializing famous individuals long gone or calling to mind loved ones near at hand.
