- The founding mother of the Whitney Museum of American Art was Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney (1875-1942), a member of the prestigious Vanderbilt clan. The family patriarch, Cornelius Vanderbilt, was a self-made magnate who amassed tremendous wealth in the 1800s by building railroad and shipping empires, eventually becoming one of the wealthiest people in history, a captain of the Gilded Age. By 1929, Gertrude had amassed an extensive personal collection of hundreds of works of art. Believing that these works should be available to the public and that American art should have a place in the great galleries and museums of the City, she decided to donate the collection to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, along with an endowment for its care and presentation. The Met refused the works, and an indignant Whitney chose to establish her own museum, one that would follow a radical mandate, collecting and exhibiting only American art. In 1930, the Whitney Museum of American Art was founded, and the following year opened an exhibition space in the West Village. Despite the ascension of the US as a world power at the end of the nineteenth century, recognition of the cultural and artistic achievements of the new world was slow in coming, as European art still dominated the canon. Gertrude’s dedication to American art and artists and her intrepid, defiant spirit led her to create and institution that embodied those values. Nearly 80 years after its founding, the Whitney still considers itself the 鄭 r tists’ Museum � , placing special importance on supporting living American artists, and on bringing artists into direct contact with the public.
