10 or 15 minutes early would be good. There can be a lineup. There is one small gallery on the ground floor, hidden to the right of the elevators, that you can go into anytime without paying admission. If you are waiting around for the right time to come around, maybe you can spend some time there while you wait.

I think the exhibit it was in ended on April 4. I may be wrong but as suggested, you can check the website to see what is on display during the time you are in Manhattan. I think it is well worth the trip to the museum no matter what is on display. I believe "The Subway" is part of the Whitney's collection, but they do change pieces every few months.
