Will There Be A Monster Stall For MoMA Tower?

The slightly less epic version of what was once dubbed the MoMA Monster, now standing at just 1,050 feet, was approved by the City Council today in a 44-3 vote. Curbed reports that "this was the last hurdle in the public land-use approval process made necessary by Tower Verre's desired zoning variances and air-rights deals." Last we checked there was word that developer Hines and architect Jean Nouvel may just leave that lot empty for a while so the NIMBYs can savor their precious view.

wow 14th street

I am so friggin old that I remember when NYC museums were

about living artists,The Whitney was free and MoMA

gave all artists a free pass to view there collection.

That was only in the early 1950's and now "Look at us

now". I wonder when I am dead what future older arts

lovers will be missing?

Perhaps those short 88 story buildings of 2012?
