I made a trip to The Whitney today, specifically to see the Edward Hopper exhibit. The Whitney is an interesting museum - they have a lot of modern art (which I tend not to love) but they also get great exhibits that make a trip there worthwhile even for me. The Hopper exhibit was great, though I was surprised that there weren't more of his seascape pictures included. According to the audio guide, Hopper's wife donated most of his work to the Whitney so they have the most extensive collection of his work; that said the exhibit only took up about five rooms, and included other artists as well. It was worth the trip and I'm glad I went, it just would have been nice to see even more.

Pictured - Long Leg by Edward Hopper, one of the many pictures we didn't see at the Whitney exhibit.

Verdict: Love New York Today
