Going to see the After Nature show at the New Museum later.
Just heard the story of the New Musem founder, Marcia Tucker. Apparently Ms. Tucker was fired from her position as Curator of Painting and Sculpture at the Whitney from 1969-1977. As soon as the news came about she was being let go, Ms. Tucker said, “Fuck this, I’m going to start my own museum!” So the story goes…
Hell, yes!
