Funny bits from Tyler Green

Two quickies from Modern Art Notes:

Wynn Hotel

• The first, a snip from LAT architecture critic Christopher Hawthorne in his review of the new hotel on the Las Vegas Boulevard:

You've probably heard by now that the Wynn Las Vegas is something of a rarity: a new hotel and casino on the Strip that doesn't have an architectural theme, the way the Venetian, the Paris, the Luxor and countless others do. But it turns out the Wynn does have a theme—just a very odd one: The theme is “midrise office tower in Houston, circa 1983.”

• The second is a link to a St. Louis Post-Dispatch piece on a new piece of public art: Quoth Tyler, “Sometimes I think that art critics shouldn't describe art because it would be more fun to let other people do it. ”
