Until Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney opened her studio on Eight Street in Manhattan in 1914 - which almost two decades later evolved into the Whitney Museum - there were few art museums in the United States, let alone galleries for contemporary artists to exhibit their work. This memoir tells a success story of three generations of women.
