The Whitney Women and the Museum They Made: A Family Memoir by Flora Miller Biddle
Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney was a sculptor and had little outlet for her work, which was true of a great many American artists. She opened her own Greenwich Village Studio for exhibitions of contemporary American artists, and after 22 years founded what we now know as the Whitney Museum of American Art. The Whitney women who followed her continued to be involved in the museum for three generations. Read the story of how these women dedicated their time and their fortunes to the museum.
