“Un patio”, Jorge Luis Borges (In Fervor de Buenos Aires, 1923)
Con la tarde Se cansaron los dos o tres colores del patio.
Esta noche, la luna, el claro círculo, No domina su espacio. Patio, cielo encauzado.
El patio es el declive Por el cual se derrama el cielo en la casa.
Serena, La eternidad espera en la encrucijada de estrellas.
Grato es vivir en la amistad oscura De un zaguán, de una parra y de un aljibe.
Work Of Art: Whitney Museum of American Art by Marcel Breuer-
The Whitney was opened in 1966 and was designed whilst Breuer was at the height of his career. With its granite clad walls, its single window and its protruding overhang, the front of the Whitney is quite intimidating. Is is unlike any other building in its vicinity and very sculptural. The space was designed with minimal internal supports and windows so that it could be extremely flexible, changing as and when it needed to suit each exhibition. These pictures were taken by Architecture photographer Ezra Stoller.
