“Step into Hopper” in Gansevoort Plaza to Celebrate Edward Hopper’s Birthday

Edward Hopper is among the most American artists of the 20th century and spent a considerable portion of his life in New York City. Celebrate his birthday by stepping into his work – literally.

In honor of Hopper’s 142nd birthday, the Meatpacking District and the Whitney Museum will partner to host “Step into Hopper” on Gansevoort Plaza. Guests will have the opportunity to step inside large-scale, 3D recreations of three of Hopper’s most recognizable works and engage with these pieces innovatively and interactively. 

Take a seat in the iconic diner in Nighthawks. You can even get a coffee from a neighborhood vendor, served by a live barista while supplies last. 

In Soir Bleu, visitors will be transported into Hopper’s reflective take on French cafe culture, complete with a clown performer.
