Edward Hopper’s NY, one of The Whitney’s most popular exhibits, closes on March 5th. The exhibit features over 200 paintings, watercolors, prints, and drawings from The Whitney’s collection of Hopper’s work, as well as loans from public and private collections, and archival materials including printed ephemera, correspondence, photographs, and notebooks.
Born in the town of Nyack in New York’s Hudson Valley region, Hopper spent most of his life as a resident of New York City at 3 Washington Square North in Greenwich Village. Over the nearly 60 years he spent as a city dweller, Hopper, known for his famous Nighthawks painting, sketched and painted the evolving city around him. You can see an interactive map of New York City sites that appear in his work here.
