Marcel Breuer
Whitney Museum of American Art, 1966
New York City
The former home of the Whitney Museum of American
Art (which relocated to the Meatpacking District last year),
the hulking, top-heavy Breuer Building on Manhattans Upper
East Side initially met with criticism when it opened in 1966.
Since then, its bold contrast with the areas brownstone-lined
streets has endeared it to the public as an avant-garde
neighborhood fixtureand current Met outpost. Named after
its Bauhaus-educated architect, the buildings unornamented
granite faade and concrete ceilings typify the brutalist
insistence on raw materials and functionality.
