Description:

To celebrate the end of the second Common Era millennium, the Whitney Museum of American Art mounted a tremendous nine-month show covering American art from 1900 to 2000. Curator Barbara Haskell takes on the first part of the exhibition in The American Century: Art and Culture, 1900-1950. Included are images from painting, sculpture, photography, architecture, and design, providing a comprehensive overview of artistic and cultural ideas in the first half of the 20th century. Then, Lisa Phillips, a director of the New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York who previously spent 20 years at the Whitney overseeing many of its famous (or infamous) biennials, addresses 1950 to 2000.
