[Corrected] I gave the museum 4 stars only because we got there three days before the Lichtenstein Exhibit opens. So, the amount of art out and visible was less than I would have liked. The place holds wonderful art and covers an interesting span of the 20th C. I particularly loved the (dressed) Odalisque Painting of Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney (Founder of the Museum), which was kind of daring for a double-Society Matron of 1916 (although one living in the Village). Another favorite: the New York/Liberty painting of downtown NYC's skyline (and a golden Lady Liberty) which looked so much more modern than its 1918 date evoked. Great contributions from Hopper and Sloan and Warhol but alas just a mattering of Lichtenstein that particular day. I also totally loved the building's position at the END (literally) of the High Line and its use of decks on the upper floors to make the whole of lower Manhattan and added work of art. Great time!
