Yesterday a friend and I went to the Whitney. It\u2019s on Washington Street. Where\u2019s that, you say. It\u2019s across the street from the West Side Highway and three blocks south of Fourteenth Street.  The Whitney moved downtown a few years ago. On one side is the High Line. On the other side is the highway and the Hudson. The Meatpacking District, as it\u2019s still called, was once associated with vagrancy, violence, and theft. It\u2019s now a funky, cobblestoned neighborhood teeming with ritzy clothing stores and high end restaurants. We went to the 5th Floor and paid homage to Jasper Johns. Then to the 6th Floor exhibit: Craft in Art 1950 -2019. The minute we stepped off the elevator my spirits soared. Glorious, witty, modern art was on display. I heard a little girl say she never wanted to leave. She had the right idea.
