Exhibit: Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney: Sculpture Part 1

GERTRUDE VANDERBILT WHITNEY: SCULPTURE: a two-part podcast hosted by noted Canadian broadcaster Arlene Bynon with John LeBoutillier, a great grandson of Gertrude, serving as a tour guide through the exhibition. Currently running at the Newport Art Museum in Newport, Rhode Island. Curated by the Norton Museum of Art in West Palm Beach, Florida, this is the first exhibition of Gertrude Whitney's work since her 1942 death. An avant-garde pioneer as a woman artist, Gertrude lived a remarkable life which is reflected through her sculptures.

Show Notes

In Episode #1, we hear from Dr. Ellen Roberts, who curated the show, and from Alfred G. Vanderbilt, whose namesake grandfather - Gertrude's brother - died aboard the Lusitania after the Germans sank her at the beginning of the First World War.
