Whitney Museum to host 60-mile bike ride from Manhattan to Nyack to honor painter Edward Hopper
The museum will host a 60-mile, roundtrip bike ride on Saturday, July 22 along the scenic Hudson River to celebrate Edward Hopper, the Nyack-born realist painter best known for his Greenwich Village-inspired painting of a lonesome, late-night diner and depictions of vast American landscapes and liminal New York City scenes.
Kathleen Motes Bennewitz, the executive director of the Edward Hopper House Museum & Study Center, said that the inaugural Whitney Hopper Ride is a wonderful way to bring the museum and cycling communities together to celebrate the late artist. Each registered cyclist will receive an exclusive “Whitney Hopper Ride” water bottle and two tickets to visit the Whitney Museum and the Edward Hopper House & Study Center. The Whitney Museum will always have several of Hopper’s works on display as part of its permanent collection on the museum’s seventh floor.
