Herzog a No-Show for Miami Talk with Riley

A public conversation scheduled for this morning (as an Art Basel Miami event) between Terence Riley, director of the Miami Art Museum, and Jacques Herzog of Herzog & De Meuron, the architects for MAM’s planned new facility, was cancelled. Herzog was said by the museum to be indisposed and unable to travel. Could it be that he disapproved of Riley’s new abode, a Mies knock-off that was featured in the “House & Home” section of today’s NY Times?
At least we got to hear Herzog expound on museum architecture in his recent lively conversation with Glenn Lowry, director of the Museum of Modern Art—yet another example of the superiority of New York over Miami!
