The studio of Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney—a sculptor, collector, and great granddaughter of the railroad and shipping magnate Cornelius Vanderbilt—will soon open for public tours. Located in Greenwich Village, the studio served as the headquarters of the Whitney Museum of American Art, which Gertrude founded, until 1954. Tours of the legendary art complex will begin on Friday, June 3, thanks to a $30,000 grant from the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
