Art This Way

Unfold pages, lift flaps, gaze into mirrors, and peek through acetate holes to interact with art like never before. Inspired by the many ways that art can be viewed and experienced, this book encourages children to spend time with a curated selection of fine art from the Whitney collection - and to dig deeper and consider all angles.

Each artwork is showcased with a novelty mechanism and caption, written in collaboration with the Whitney's education department, for curious hands and wondrous eyes.
