Painter, filmmaker, folklorist, musicologist, and collector are just a few of the words that describe Harry Smith. In honor of our exhibition Fragments of a Faith Forgotten: The Art of Harry Smith, Whitney curator Elisabeth Sussman gives us a taste of what Smith was all about. January 28 is the last day to see Fragments of a Faith Forgotten at the Whitney before it travels to the Carpenter Center for Visual Arts at Harvard. #whitneymuseum #harrysmith #nycart #nycmuseums

It took Liza Lou five years and millions of hand-applied glass beads to make her monumental sculpture Kitchen. This is the story of that work. #womenartists #museumtok #whitneymuseum #lizalou
