New Whitney Museum of American Art Event

The Whitney Museum of American Art recently opened at its new location at 99 Gansevoort Street (near the Highline), and offered free admission & a block party on May 2nd.  Great architecture both exterior and interior (including the elevators).  I won't lie; I didn't look at each painting too closely...some didn't make sense (e.g., a canvas painted completely white, another painted completely black)...hmmm...

But there was also artwork that was pretty amazing.  I'd never even heard of these painters before today, so I'm glad I got introduced to them.  And of course, who can forget the bulky TVs of previous decades?
