Martin Filler Quotes

Museum Architectural Search Committees Have Invariably Included The Kimbell In Their International Scouting Tours Of Exemplary Art Galleries (a Practice Pioneered By Velma Kimbell, The Founder's Widow, In 1964). Those Groups No Doubt Respond To The Kimbell With Suitable Reverence, But Given The Buildings They Later Commissioned, Many Post-Bilbao Museum Patrons Obviously Wanted Something Quite Different. The Disparity Between Kahn's Museums And Recent Examples Of That Genre Parallels The Discrepancy He Saw Between Postwar Modernism And Ancient Classicism: "Our Stuff Looks Tinny Compared To It." At A Time When Commercial Values Are Systematically Corrupting The Museum - One Of Civilized Society's Most Elevating Experiences - The Example Of Kahn, Among The Most Courageous And Successful Architectural Reformers Of All Time, Seems More Relevant And Cautionary Than Ever.
