From the New York Times review of the new Whitney Museum of American Art:
The new museum isn’t a masterpiece. But it is a deft, serious achievement, a signal contribution to downtown and the city’s changing cultural landscape. Unlike so much big-name architecture, it’s not some weirdly shaped trophy building into which all the practical stuff of a working museum must be fitted. It clearly evolved from the inside out, a servant to pragmatism and a few zoning anomalies.
