The Post-Post-Modern

When did modern end? And what do we call this new nonsense in art & archiecture?
A Modern Arts blog.

Early rendering of the Guggenhiem, in NYC by Frank Llloyd Wright (built 1959) In Frank Lloyd Wright’s earliest drawings of the Guggenheim, the exterior walls were red or orange marble with verdigris copper banding on the top and bottom. When the museum was built, the color was a more subtle brownish yellow. Over the years, the walls were repainted an almost white shade of gray. About 11 layers were stripped during recent restorations, despite the findings the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission decided to keep the museum white.
