historical notes
|
Colloquially known as "Jock" Whitney, was U.S. Ambassador to the United Kingdom, publisher of the New York Herald Tribune, MOMA Trustee and a member of the Whitney family.
The John Hay Whitney Collection (May 26-November 27, 1983), National Gallery of Art exhibition, Washington, DC, consisted of 73 paintings by 19th- and 20th-century European and American masters constituted almost the entire collection assembled by John Hay Whitney and Betsey Cushing Whitney.
Mr. Whitney, who died in 1982, served as a National Gallery trustee from 1961 to 1979. Included in the exhibition were the recent gifts from his estate to the National Gallery, the Museum of Modern Art, and Yale University Art Gallery. John Rewald, consultant and advisor to the Whitneys, was guest curator. Florence Coman was coordinator at the Gallery. Gaillard Ravenel and Mark Leithauser designed the exhibition and Gordon Anson designed the lighting.
