Why The Whitney Gets A Pass?

“This year’s Whitney Biennial may have escaped serious censure in part because there’s no one at the Whitney to kick around anymore.

No one has yet been churlish enough to pummel the triumvirate of earnest, low-profile young female curators who made this year’s picks.”
