The New Museum adds flair to the Bowery

The new building, designed by the Japanese architecture firm SANAA, feels both modern, with a touch of early modernism without the polemics, and postmodern, with plenty of playfulness without the irony. The museum offers several art pleasures within its stack of white boxes. The almost medieval staircase linking the galleries is so narrow that it's hard not to be intimate with people walking in the opposite direction. The New Museum is part of a larger story about the once down-and-out Bowery.
