This massively popular exhibition, closing March 5, focus on the artist’s rich and sustained relationship with the city that served as the subject, setting, and inspiration for so many of his most celebrated and entralling pictures.
[2 Lizards](https://whitney.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=387f59a72ae7b64ccae37d5c9&id=6a5e614f43&e=59415c6e7e) depicts a surrealist view of the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic as it unfolded in New York City.

The presentation at the Whitney is its first museum screening of the work as a narrative film. 2 Lizards, on view in the Museum’s lobby gallery, closes February 19.
The exhibition [At the Dawn of a New Age: Early Twentieth-Century American Modernism](https://whitney.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=387f59a72ae7b64ccae37d5c9&id=acb5dd236d&e=59415c6e7e) highlights works by lesser-known modernists and familiar icons to discover how these artists used abstraction and responded to the realities of a rapidly modernizing world. The exhibition, closing February 26, represents over 60 works by more than 45 artists working in various styles and media.
Closing March 5, the exhibition [In the Balance: Between Painting and Sculpture, 1965–1985](https://whitney.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=387f59a72ae7b64ccae37d5c9&id=dabb75267f&e=59415c6e7e) brings together artworks from the Whitney’s collection that showcase how sculpture can explore painting’s domain and how painting can take up sculptural concerns. Artists represented in the exhibition include Edna Andrade, Jane Kaufman, Alvin Loving, Alma Thomas, Mary Ann Unger, and more.

ABOUT THE WHITNEY
The Whitney Museum of American Art, founded in 1930 by the artist and philanthropist Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney (1875–1942), houses the foremost collection of American art from the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Mrs. Whitney, an early and ardent supporter of modern American art, nurtured groundbreaking artists when audiences were still largely preoccupied with the Old Masters. From her vision arose the Whitney Museum of American Art, which has been championing the most innovative art of the United States for ninety years. The core of the Whitney’s mission is to collect, preserve, interpret, and exhibit American art of our time and serve a wide variety of audiences in celebration of the complexity and diversity of art and culture in the United States. Through this mission and a steadfast commitment to artists, the Whitney has long been a powerful force in support of modern and contemporary art and continues to help define what is innovative and influential in American art today.
