Last Call: MoMA's Closing, and Changing MoMA的变革与新生 NEW YORK — The Museum of Modern Art is slouching toward a shutdown starting June 15, in order to complete its latest expansion — which is really an attempt to fix the last one. With the museum on the brink of change, the art and architecture critics of The New York Times took the occasion to revisit favorite (or famous) artworks, review shows not yet covered and consider the implications of the ghost in the machine — the loss of the American Folk Art Museum, once next door but now part of the Modern's new footprint. 纽约——纽约现代艺术博物馆（The Museum of Modern Art，简称MoMA）从6月15日起暂时关闭，以完成新的规模扩张——而这实际上是为了修补上一次扩张带来的问题。在这座博物馆处于变革边缘之际，《纽约时报》的艺术与建筑评论家借此机会回溯了一些最受喜爱（或最著名）的艺术品，重新审视了一些此前的评论未能涵盖的展览，并探讨美国民俗艺术博物馆(American Folk Art Museum)的“幽魂”意味着什么——在MoMA的新蓝图中，这家曾坐落在隔壁的博物馆将成为它的一部分。 Over the next four months, the museum will cut six openings in its western wall to connect three floors of new galleries to existing ones, and will install the largest-ever display of its vast permanent collection, a feat that curators have been planning for years. |
