"I found in a French psychoanalytical magazine, a long exegesis on the aesthetics of this strange building located in the Lower Side of Manhattan and called The New Museum. It appears to me as a white naked woman, a life-sized hyperrealist inflatable doll, standing on a cubist pedestal like a tall white candle. The exegesis would interpellate our own castration anxiety: “Is this sort of monument different from the Greek statues that Hegel used to gaze at?”
