Whitney Museum-Jasper Johns: Mind/Mirror

The Whitney Museum of American Art founded in 1930 by the artist and philanthropistGertrudeVanderbilt Whitney houses the foremost collection of American art from the twentieth-andtwenty-first centuries. Mrs. Whitney, an early and ardent supporter of modern American art,nurtured groundbreaking artists at a time when audiences were still preoccupied with the OldMasters. From her vision arose the Whitney Museum of American Art, which has beenchampioning the most innovative art of the United States for ninety years. Gertrude wouldcertainly approve of the museum’s ambitious and currentJasper Johns retrospective which is asingle exhibition in two venues including the Whitney and the Philadelphia Museum ofArt.Over 500 works including his signature flags, maps, and new works are splashed across thewalls of these two monumental institutions.
