Isn\u2019t visiting a museum you\u2019ve been in many times like visiting old friends? Each work of art pin points a moment in your own life, That\u2019s how I feel when entering the permanent collection at the New Whitney Museum to be greeted by Calder\u2019s Circus. The circus mobiles date from 1926-1931 and show their venerable age. Joseph Albers<\/em>\u2019s Homage to the Square series recalls the mid-twentieth century. There\u2019s Joseph Stella<\/em>\u2019s moody Brooklyn Bridge, Richard Avedon<\/em>\u2019s classy photography and George Bellows\u2019s<\/em> fight scenes.<\/p>\n

I returned to the fifth floor to see the other Stella again. Frank Stella<\/em> rules. It\u2019s a big, brash exhibit, the kind of fireworks NYC museums do well.<\/p>\n

The New Whitney has views of the former meatpacking district, the High Line and the Hudson River. There\u2019s infinitely more natural light than in the old bunker building. Well done, old friends. The move suits you.<\/p>\n
