Lost in the Geffen
Handout map for David Geffen Galleries The Los Angeles Times and New York Times are each running their second reviews of Peter Zumthor's David Geffen Galleries, by Leah Ollman and Holland Cotter respectively. Both are about as positive as the first round of reviews (by Sam Lubell and Michael Kimmelman ), and both focus on finding your way through the building. Cotter wants an orientation gallery with suggested routes. Ollman doubles down on Michael Govan's premise that getting lost is the point. She brings up an issue scarcely mentioned elsewhere: the minimalist labels for art. Govan says that more information is available online, but Ollman finds spotty WiFi behind Zumthor's concrete and prefers a respite from digital screens.
