COLLECTING BIENNIALS
January 16–November 28, 2010
As a prelude, counterpoint, and coda to the Biennial, the Museum’s fifth
floor is devoted to artists in the Whitney’s collection whose works
were shown in Biennials over the past eight decades. Collecting
Biennials, opening on January 16, is installed as a kind of historical
survey within the Biennial, underscoring the importance of previous
Biennial exhibitions in the Museum’s history and the formation of its
collection. Work by one of the artists in 2010, George Condo, is
included in the mix. Collecting Biennials begins nearly six weeks before
the rest of the Biennial and remains on view until November 2010.
The following artists are included in Collecting Biennials: William
Anastasi, Kenneth Anger, Richard Artschwager, Milton Avery, Matthew
Barney, Ashley Bickerton, Peter Blume, Lee Bontecou, Vija Celmins, Larry
Clark, George Condo, Bruce Conner, Willem de Kooning, Richard
