Vanity Fair special correspondent Bob Colacello
discusses the competition between New York’s Museum of Modern Art and
the Metropolitan Museum of Art for artworks, prestige, and young,
moneyed trustees. Colacello also details the massive expansions both
museums are planning, which for MoMA includes a highly controversial
Diller Scofidio + Renfro design that proposed opening the entire first
floor of the museum free of charge, including the garden. Colacello’s
article “Might at the Museum” appears in the February issue of Vanity Fair.
