Exhibit: Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney: Sculpture Part 2
GERTRUDE VANDERBILT WHITNEY: SCULPTURE: a two-part podcast hosted by noted Canadian broadcaster Arlene Bynon with John LeBoutillier, a great grandson of Gertrude, serving as a tour guide through the exhibition. Currently running at the Newport Art Museum in Newport, Rhode Island. Curated by the Norton Museum of Art in West Palm Beach, Florida, this is the first exhibition of Gertrude Whitney's work since her 1942 death. An avant-garde pioneer as a woman artist, Gertrude lived a remarkable life which is reflected through her sculptures.
In Episode #2, we hear from two of Gertrude's grandchildren: Flora Biddle, who was the third President of the Whitney Museum of Art, and Leverett S. Miller, who as a young boy witnessed a tragedy involving Gertrude's work.
