This week, the Samsung Art Store launched a partnership with The Whitney Museum of American Art, meaning anyone with The Frame TV can now enjoy a selection of curated works from The Whitney’s collection and archive. As an art history major and museum geek, I’ve been so impressed with the job Samsung has done in picking partners and pieces to spotlight. Whenever art gets seen by more people, it’s always a win in my book (even if the originals are more breathtaking, of course).

As part of this collab, myself and a few fellow editors got to tour part of The Whitney’s permanent collection with a curator in private, before the museum opened its doors one day last month. It was a very pinch-me, New York City moment, and I definitely want to dig more into the history of the museum now that I know a little more about how it came to be. Above, you’re looking at a photo of The Frame with a digital rendering of one of the museum’s most famous works, the portrait of its founder, Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney, by the artist Robert Henri. The TV was placed close to where the original was hung, and I couldn’t believe how much the screen captured the colors and brushstrokes so true to life.

If you get a chance to check-out the 30+ new works that just came to the Samsung Art Store via The Whitney collab, take a look! You’ll see the above from Henri and a bunch of other amazing offerings from iconic American artists like Wayne Thiebaud, Agnes Pelton, Edward Hopper, Joseph Stella, and more. I truly think when art is more accessible, we all win. And if you’re in need of some extra inspiration to tide you over while we’re hard at work on our mid-year trend predictions over here, you’ve come to the right place. Enjoy this week’s links and tips. Drop me a line if something strikes your fancy!
