The Whitney puts one Biennial artist on the billboard facing Gansevoort Street, where it is seen by everyone walking off the High Line whether they meant to look at art or not. Taina H. Cruz's commission has held that wall since March and stays through September 21. If you want a piece of the Biennial without a thirty-dollar ticket, stand on the pavement and look up.
What to expect
The billboard sits on the museum's exterior at street level on Gansevoort Street, so you see it from the pavement in seconds. The Whitney's always-free ground-floor gallery is a few steps away through the lobby. The High Line's southern entrance is directly adjacent.
