Huxtable: MoMA Gets It Right

Ada Louise Huxtable has had a life-long relationship with the Museum of Modern Art, following its various incarnations on 53rd St. And the latest version? it’s “a suavely sophisticated, exquisitely executed, elegantly understated building that doubles the museum’s size. Mr. Taniguchi’s style–where less is so much more than trendy minimalism, with every carefully reasoned detail honed as close to perfection as possible–is the right architecture for the Modern. It is also the right building for New York.”
