Excited to collaborate with the Whitney Museum of American of Art on today’s typology :  a collection of hand studies by Edward Hopper. An exclusive look into the Hopper Drawing exhibition opening to the general public tomorrow at the Whitney. If you’re a member you are able to enjoy it today!

These sketches plus dozens of other works by Hopper, many of which have never before been exhibited or researched,  will be on view May 23-October 6, 2013. An incredible opportunity to look into Hopper’s creative process.
