The Whitney Museum of American Art is the leading advocate of 20th- and 21st-century American art. Founded in 1930, the Museum's holdings now include nearly 14,000 works of art representing more than 2,500 artists. The Permanent Collection is the world's preeminent collection of 20th-century American art and includes the entire artistic estate of Edward Hopper, the largest public collection of works by Alexander Calder, Louise Nevelson, and Lucas Samaras, as well as significant works by Arshile Gorky, Marsden Hartley, Jasper Johns, Reginald Marsh, Agnes Martin, Georgia O'Keeffe, Claes Oldenburg, Robert Rauschenberg, and Ad Reinhardt, among other artists. With its history of exhibiting the most promising and influential American artists and provoking intense critical and public debate, the Biennial � the Whitney's signature show � has become a measure of the state of contemporary art in America today.
