As if the May 1 opening of the new Whitney Museum of American Art couldn’t get anymore hotly anticipated (see The Whitney’s New Meatpacking Home Opens May 1 and Does the New Whitney Museum Herald a Golden Age for New York Institutions?), the museum has finally released the list of artists who will be featured in the inaugural presentation of the permanent collection, “America Is Hard to See” (see Whitney Museum’s Inaugural Show in New Home Spans John Sloan to Yayoi Kusama and Jeff Koons).

It’s an assortment of predictably impressive artists, with a diverse range of works that is bound to have a little bit of something for everyone. From Ansel Adams and Diane Arbus to Jackson Pollock and Kara Walker, the Whitney is really showing off the depth and breadth of its collection, dating back to institution’s founder, Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney, herself a sculptor (see Landmark Designations for Whitney and Wyeth Studios).

When the doors open at the new Renzo Piano–designed Meatpacking District building, located at the base of the High Line, visitors can expect higher ticket prices (see Whitney Hikes Entry Fees, Sells Advance Tickets to New Home), massive crowds, and, come 2017, a Whitney Biennial sponsored by Tiffany & Co. (see Tiffany & Co. Just Bought the Whitney Biennial for $5 Million).
