The Whitney Biennial is a biennial exhibition of contemporary American art organized by the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City. The exhibition series began in 1932, running first as biennials and then, from 1937, as annuals; the current biennial format was established in 1973. It is widely considered as the most important survey exhibition of contemporary art in the United States. The Biennial helped bring artists including Georgia O'Keeffe, Jackson Pollock, and Jeff Koons, among others, to prominence.
