[As Muschamp Goes ...]
- official line
"This is a critic who does not have much objectivity ...
He's someone who cultivates certain friendships. If you're not part of it, you do not get reviewed."
(Daniel Libeskind, in Clay Risen, nyob_04.06.28)
- obscurantism
"He was welcomed when he first came ...
because he was not a fence straddler in the mode of Paul Goldberger"
(Critic James Russell, in Clay Risen, nyob_04.06.28)
- dilettantism
"Donald Trump, he wrote in 1997,
'is top dog in the wave-making business, and wave-making is,
if anything, more vital than real estate in the shaping of urban life.' ..."
(Herbert Muschamp, in Clay Risen, nyob_04.06.28)
- coterie
"Shrewdly, Eisenman has employed inexpensive materials and fittings:
gypsum walls, catalogue lighting fixtures.
These help create a provisional, studio atmosphere,
as if the building were itself a pinup project,
a thesis mocked up to full scale."
(Herbert Muschamp, in Clay Risen, nyob_04.06.28)
- infamy
"I think [Sept. 11] shook him to the rafters."
(Frank Gehry, in Clay Risen, nyob_04.06.28)
- saber rattling
"But when the competition was narrowed to two finalistsMr. Libeskind and THINK,
led by perennial Muschamp favorite and personal friend Rafael Viñolythe critic switched sides
and attacked the Libeskind plan. The design, he now wrote,
'looks stunted
an astonishingly tasteless idea.'"
(Clay Risen, nyob_04.06.28)
- baby pigeons
"... who, outside the field, has heard of Blair Kamin?"
(Clay Risen, nyob_04.06.28)
