The article reviews three New York City exhibitions including Whitney Museum's Biennial, "Artists: Emergent Americans," at the Guggenheim and "New Works on Paper," at the Museum of Modern Art in February 1981.

This article focuses on the 1987 Biennial of the Whitney Museum of American Art, founded by Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney Muse. The itinerary of the Spirit through history is filled with switchbacks and flip-flops, but few more acutely dramatic than those through which Correggio became a prophet rather than an eccentric, and Whitney a visionary rather than a mere enthusiast. Without ceasing to be a museum of American art, the Whitney had thrust upon it the artistic destinies of the world. Whitney has accordingly sustained stresses its founder could never have envisioned.

Navigating the Metropolitan Museum of Art can be bewildering -- there is so much great stuff to see in every direction that you can feel rudderless. So it helps to have a plan. Here is a good one: Oberlin College's Allen Memorial Art Museum in Ohio, under renovation, has sent 19 of its best paintings and one sculpture to New York, where they are in permanent collection galleries along with the works they relate to at the Met. This may not sound like much on paper, but it makes for a rewarding scavenger hunt. The exhibition, ''Side by Side: Oberlin's Masterworks at the Met,'' was organized by Maryan Ainsworth, curator of European paintings at the Met, and Andria Derstine, curator of European and American art at the Allen, and Stephanie Wiles, the Allen's director.
