Carter Horsley's Review of 118 West 79th Street

Carter Horsley's Building Review
"Museums, art dealers and art collectors have long debated the merits of how to repair severely damaged works of art. For generations, it was customary for expert restorers to try their best to make the work look whole and disguise the repair, but modern conservators dislike such deception and prefer to make the repair quite obvious.

Given the popularity in architectural circles of Post-Modern and Deconstructivist flourishes, one is tempted to conjur all sorts of wild treatments for this barren patch. Perhaps it should be a violet terracotta surround, or a chrome reveal. Whatever it should be, it should not be left as is." Read Carter's Full Review
