@@cule189911 yeah I actually think I remember hearing about it going to The Frick Collection... No disrespect but I'm not incredibly excited about that 😫🙃
bittersweet...but, O to have been a New Yorker during this legendary run of exhibits by the Met! ...now how 'bout doing a 4 year performance exhibition series at the Armory space? ; )
I worked at the Whitney in the 90s, the building is a disaster, all these granite plates he put on the outside were cracking and had to be replaced. It's striking to me these Bauhaus Jews embraced a grandiose pillbox fortress flak tower mentality (they were all morose communists), the same stark concrete architecture embraced by the very people who would be putting them into ovens. When it comes to Brutalist landmarks, nothing surpasses Hitler's Hamburg bunker.
The Breuer Building is such a stunning building.
0:40 Saint John’s Abbey, what a beauty
Masterpiece.
Thank you!
1:30 amazing structure.
Wait wait wait wait.... Is this a farewell video... 🥺🤯😭... I hope not... I've loved this building and all the art I've seen in it
Sankofa NYC it’s a lease from the Whitney, so hopefully it’ll still be an art museum but yeah I’ll def miss the Met Breuer :(

Thanks for sharing. I've a memory of those windows. :)
The Whitney is striking from the outside, but cold and tomb-like on the inside.
