Well, it's also the start of the Museum's signature event, The Whitney Biennial, but more importantly, in honor of the occasion, the Gap has collaborated with 13 artists associated with the exhibition for a limited edition series of printed t-shirts to be available at select Gap stores in mid-May. The roster includes well known artists like Kiki Smith, Chuck Close, Kenny Scharf and Barbara Kruger among others. Those willing to make their way to the museum on Madison Avenue will get a preview of of sorts, as the t-shirts are available there now for $28 in the bookstore.
The Whitney Museum 945 Madison Avenue at 75th Street, Upper East Side
Anyone have info about ordering any of these tees online? I couldn't find a link to the bookshop anywhere on the Whitney home page.

Go to wwww.gap.com, and you can order some of them online. However, the Gap in Hollywood and Studio City CA have some in stock. I got the Close, Kruger and Schaaf, but ordered the Koons online.
