Jean Nouvel and the MoMA
"...melding of cultural and commercial worlds.."
"...the Modern pressed for a talented architect, insisting on veto power over the selection."
"Architecture is a form of marketing now..."
"...Mr Nouvel sees the modern grid as confining and dogmatic. His tower's contorted forms are a scream for freedom."
"In short, it would have to embrace a fearlessness that it hasn't shown in decades."
"MoMA would do well to take a cue from Ruskin, who wrote that great art, whether expressed in words, colors or stones, does not say the same thing over and over again."
