Limited Access Visit #2: the MoMA

The morning of September 1 I took a trip to the MoMA

with my brother Greg!!

There was a whole lot of this…in fact, after visiting 4 Limited Access cultural institutions so far, NO ONE comes close to the distancing in effect at the Museum of Modern Art. They’ve got the lowest percentage of people allowed in and it showed. Very very very few people in the museum and it was awesome.

We started on the top, where there was a big Donald Judd retrospective, and worked our way down through the whole museum.

The best example of the non-crowdedness of the MoMA was that we were the only 2 people in the gallery where Starry Night is. Never have I ever not had to elbow my way through this room.

Ok now art w/o interruption:

OK and that’s it for my MoMA visit! Good to see all the art and walk around the expansion, but it’s a shame that the expansion is just: more rooms. You wouldn’t even know you were in it if you didn’t know you were in it. And I don’t know but also I feel like I’ve seen every thing they’ve got at the MoMA. No surprises, no discoveries, nothing really got me going. MoMA: get some new art? Or rotate some of it? OR maybe, even with a 6 or 7 month break, I’ve been too many times?

Anyway, I’ve got Whitney and Met visit posts and takes coming up so I hope you’ll come around for those, too.
