ABSTRACT
SH E R E L I E D O N H E R wits and inexhaustible capacity for hard work. It had to be that way. Juliana Force, appointed as director of the Whitney Museum of American Art in 1929, had no training in art. She came from a poor family and never had the opportunity to attend college. Force rose to the helm of one of the nation’s top art institutions through a carefully constructed social network.
