The New Museum has been my favorite museum in New York for over a decade (before I lived here even). I thought the name for the young artists show was irritating, but I liked most of the work. As for displaying a trustee's collection, does that save them money? The reason I ask is that the last time I went to PSI, things were sparse in terms of the quantity of art. Is there a big budget axe at the museums right now? I think calling it the “New Museum” was a huge mistake, and will bite them in the butt until they wise up and finally change the name.
