Although the design is brutal both in its mainly windowless
exterior and its height - suited more to the Museum's program
than its context - the architects excel at detailing their
building in a way that gives them a lightness and transparency.
How this method translates in New York City remains to be
seen, but if the shimmering beauty of the new Dior
Store in Tokyo is any example, the New Museum will be
a beacon for art in a city known as much for its art museums
as the art that they contain.
