"I remember liking the present Museum of Modern Art before it opened in 2004. For the life of me, I can�t now imagine what I was thinking. An aged New Yorker, visiting from Florida, not long ago happened upon the new Whitney. A 'kockeputzi,' she called it. Yes, it is a mishmash. But buildings take time to reveal their true selves."
From Michael Kimmelman's NYT article about the new Whitney Museum.
I don't know about the museum, but I'm enjoying the word kockeputzi.
