Chelsea: NYC's largest contemporary art museum?

If you're interested in contemporary art, Jerry Saltz of the Village Voice points out that you may have a hard time finding it in the museums of New York. "Among Manhattan's big-four museums, only the Met has galleries devoted to the permanent display of the art of the last 20 years. Visitors to MOMA, the Whitney, and the Guggenheim will only see whatever rotating contemporary shows happen to be up. Works of contemporary art cannot be studied over time." Saltz goes on to suggest that, with over 300 galleries, "Chelsea is ipso facto the largest museum of contemporary art that we have." [via Artkrush]
