YOSHIO TANIGUCHI, MUSEUM OF MODERN ART, NEW YORK 2003 (ph 2010-2016)
""Al piano terra, lo street museum diviene the dual street museum tra la 53th e la 54th, quasi una avenue interna "passante" , sia pure di sezione ridotta, di libera circolazione come una strada urbana dove si affacciano locali per il teatro e per il cinema, oltre ai desk di informazione e biglietteria"" N. Ventura, 2022
"four guiding or, indeed, foundational principles: continuity, intimacy, privacy, and this notion of seamless whole.(…)
Continuity influence the notion of narrativity and involves the way in which art is shown;
intimacy is always culturally mediated;
privacy involved the relationship of
the viewer to the work of arts;
the notion of seamless whole, which is
giving way to complexity (and then,
ndr) to globalization and virtualization." M. Taylor,1998
"The Museum recognize it cannot expand by simple
enlarging the model that has guided it during past decades.
It is too complex an institution, and the history of modern
art is now too long and too varied to be told within the
intimate, domestic-scale galleries and buildings that
currently characterize the Museum. This does not means
abandoning the sense of intimate that makes the Museum
such an enjoyable place to visit; but it does mean
realizing that intimacy is both a function scale and
perception, and that in future we will have to rely on the
clarity and intelligence of the architecture to provide a
variety of spaces, which is and of themselves retain a
feeling of intimacy, even if the whole is no longer of
modest scale". G.D. Lowry, 1998

"he (R. D'Halancourt "learned" the artworks by sketching them, and then he amassed them with the intention "to relate the individual pieces to their cultural and/or artistic neighbors…in other words, to assemble objects that had some affinities."
"The museum's midblock location distinguishes it from other major New York city museums, most of which are located on the wider avenues and farther to the north. As a "street museum", it is not identified as an object surrounded by space, but as a part of the streetscape". G.D. Lowry, 1998
