Collector Art Tour
new york June 27-30!
WHAT WE WILL DO & WHERE WE WILL STAY
The Whitney Biennial is the longest-running — and one of the most important — regular showcases of American art featuring up and coming artists every other year in NYC.
The Standard Hotel is perched directly above The High Line, steps away from the Whitney Museum, host to five highly rated food spots and will be the perfect home base for our trip.
Built on a historic elevated rail line, The High Line is the world-renowned showcase of Dutch garden designer Piet Oudolf, and will serve as our path to the Chelsea Gallery District.
