Happy Fry-Day (sorry). ?? Some tasty news as we near the weekend: Frenchette Bakery at the Whitney is now serving french fries that we can only assume are inspired by Claes Oldenburg’s French Fries and Ketchup (1963) sculpture from the Whitney’s collection. — Claes Oldenburg, French Fries and Ketchup, 1963.

The Whitney Museum of American Art seeks to be the defining museum of twentieth- and twenty-first-century American art.
关于我们
The Whitney seeks to be the defining museum of 20th- and 21st-century American art. The Museum collects, exhibits, preserves, researches, and interprets art of the United States in the broadest global, historical and interdisciplinary contexts. As the preeminent advocate for American art, we foster the work of living artists at critical moments in their careers. The Whitney educates a diverse public through direct interaction with artists, often before their work has achieved general acceptance.
