Can The Whitney Be Saved?

Hilton Kramer writes that the Whitney Museum was founded with high ideals but has sunk to “parlous condition.” Kramer wishes new director Adam Weinberg good luck – “he returns to a museum that many artists now despise—for the right reasons, too—and the public has every reason to distrust. I wish him luck. He will certainly need it, if the recent track record of the Whitney’s board of trustees is any guide.”
