one of midcentury America’s eccentric savants, a prodigy and polymath
Michael Kimmelman reviews (here) Bruce Goff: Material Worlds, a recent exhibit at the Art Institute of Chicago. He also manages to slide in a review of sorts for the new LACMA by Zumthor.
#architecture #BruceGoff #LACMA #Zumthor“The Chicago show is a revelation and hoot, but you can also get a dose of Goff by visiting the new home for the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, when it opens this spring.
It’s a showstopper on stilts, bestriding Wilshire Boulevard, designed by the Swiss architect Peter Zumthor. I mention it because Goff designed the pavilion next door. Zumthor’s floor-to-ceiling windows provide a new High Line-level view of the neighbor…It was among the last projects Goff worked on before his death, completed by his colleague Bart Prince in 1988. The architecture shocked Angelenos at the time. It is now embraced as a civic icon. It’s a masterpiece of 20th century Americana. I suspect it will give Zumthor’s behemoth a run for its money.”

#ICYMI "I said earlier that he reminds Americans of our better selves. I mean that his output is a love letter to optimism and the American experience in all its openness. We see Goff in video clips, wearing his signature bolo ties and patterned shirts, a self-effacing, soft-spoken gentleman with the manner of a country doctor." https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/04/arts/design/bruce-goff-architect-chicago.html?unlocked_article_code=1.gFA.jR8N.I5XN8Xr-4dvr&smid=url-share re: #BruceGoff
