One of WBSM’s favorite correspondents is selling a Long Island home that has been in the family for generations. The historic building has been restored to its former glory and John Leboutillier wants to see it go to a worthy owner who will help preserve its legacy.
This art studio was built in 1912 by Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney, Leboutillier’s great-grandmother. Born into one wealthy family and married into another, Whitney was one of America s first female sculptors and founder of the Whitney Museum of American Art.
According to Leboutillier, the studio was her workspace and playground all rolled into one.

Is it having to wear a mask or the art itself that makes ‘Grief and Grievance’ at the New Museum such an exhausting show? After a couple of hours, it’s hard to breathe. Judging by the number of visitors dabbing at their eyes, it’s hard not to cry too. Subtitled ‘Art and Mourning in America’, the exhibition was conceived by Okwui Enwezor as a response to Donald Trump’s ugly rhetoric around race, what the Nigerian-born curator believed was not just an indifference to Black American grief but a weaponisation of white grievance. More melancholy: Enwezor died in 2019; the show has been brought to completion by the New Museum’s artistic director Massimiliano Gioni working with artist Glenn Ligon and curators Mark Nash and Naomi Beckwith.
