How would you interpret ‘the Walker’ and ‘the Whitney’ in the context? Here’s where you and I come in. They recruited my old boss for the job, Leroy Davidson from the Walker. He only got 50 thousand clams to work with but he’s done a killer job, Leroy chose everything himself. He’s fed up with the Europeans sniggering about heart-throbbing landscapes and the American Scene, so he decided to give them an eyeful. Seventy-nine paintings, mostly Modern Art: Stuart Davis, Marsden Hartley, Georgia O’Keeffe, it’s a killer. Even Goodrich at the Whitney says so. We’re hanging it here in New York for the summer and then it moves to the National for a few weeks. Leroy says Congress needs to see what American Art looks like, before we send it off. How would you interpret ‘the Walker’ and ‘the Whitney’ in the context? Do they refer to two places in America? Thanks!

They're art museums. The Walker probably refers to the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota and the Whitney is the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City.
