The full review
The strategy is to take the elevator to the top of Wright's spiral and descend at your own pace, which is how the building is designed to be used. The continuous ramp is a mile long if walked corner to corner.
Kandinsky and other early-20th-century European painters dominate the permanent collection; the museum's strength in non-objective art is unmatched in New York.
