NEW MIDTOWN BRANCH FOR WHITNEY
The lobby of a new corporate skyscraper in midtown will soon become the home for a Whitney Museum of American Art branch, making it the latest and largest addition to an extensive collaboration between a major art museum and the corporate world. The skyscraper - a 54-story, $200 million structure designed by Edward Larrabee Barnes - is the new headquarters of the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States, at Seventh Avenue between 51st and 52d Streets. Adjoining the skyscraper's lobby will be two galleries, to open Feb. 13, in which the Whitney will present temporary exhibitions of painting and sculpture. The new galleries will join three other branches in corporate lobbies that the Whitney will operate by this spring.
