Galleria: I, You, We @ The Whitney Museum

Posted on by

FamilyThis well-rounded selection of pieces from the Whitney’s permanent collection represents the fifth and final installment of a two-year series. Each of the pieces included in I,You, We were produced by well-known artists from the 1980s and 90s (Maplethorpe, Basquiat and Fischl among them) with a specific focus on the prevailing issues of the day – escalating wealth/poverty, the AIDS epidemic, gun control, etc. As a whole, these works provide a unique window into the way we once were, if not the retroactive feeling that things were more than likely going to get a lot worse before they ever began to get better.  

(I, You, We runs through 9/1 at The Whitney Museum, $18 general admission, Madison Avenue at 75th Street.)
