The Whitney Museum of American Art partnered with the Empire State Building on a one-of-a-kind, one-night-only lightshow last night, marking two historic occasions: the opening day of the Whitney’s new Renzo Piano–designed building in Manhattan’s Meatpacking District and the eighty-fourth anniversary of the Empire State Building. Using twelve iconic works from the Whitney’s collection, lighting designer Marc Brickman interpreted the pieces below by artists Georgia O’Keeffe, Edward Hopper, Andy Warhol, Peter Halley, and Barbara Kruger, among others, utilizing the Empire State Building’s LED tower lights.
