CELEBRATING 300 YEARS OF RUSSIAN CULTURE IN L.A.
The year 2002 closed with two major American museum's announcing that their ambitious expansion projects went kaput. Guggenheim suffered a double loss: first, it announced the abandonment of its plan to build a gigantic Frank Gehry-designed satellite in Manhattan; next came news of the closure of the Las Vegas-based Guggenheim museum in the Venetian Hotel. Here in L.A., LACMA officials threw in the towel over their battle to replace the four existing museum buildings with a Rem Koolhaas-designed semi-translucent, but not sufficiently thought-out project. But more about that another day.
