Organized by the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York together with MondoMostre, the exhibition will bring together more than 150 works, including oil paintings, drawings, etchings, watercolours and archival materials from the museum’s collections and the Sanborn Hopper Archive.

Rather than following a purely chronological approach, the exhibition explores Hopper’s career through the places that shaped his artistic vision: New York, Paris and New England. It also examines the important role of his wife, the artist Jo Hopper, in both his life and creative work.
