by Jon Lackman | 22 March 2006 | Modern, Museums

Artnet reports that the Whitney Museum “has announced plans for ‘Picasso and American Art,’ Sept. 28, 2006-Jan. 28, 2007. Organized by Michael FitzGerald, a professor at Trinity College in Connecticut and coordinated by Whitney associate curator Dana Miller, the show includes nearly 40 works by Picasso and another 130 works by American artists, largely focusing on Stuart Davis, Willem de Kooning, Arshile Gorky, John Graham, Jasper Johns, Roy Lichtenstein, Jackson Pollock, David Smith and Max Weber. The show is accompanied by a 352-page catalogue co-published with Yale University Press. The show subsequently travels to the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Feb. 25-May 28, 2007, and the Walker Art Center, June 17-Sept. 9, 2007.”
