Yesterday we went to the Met Breuer, the former Whitney Museum, now the Met’s new space dedicated to modern and contemporary art, to view two exhibitions, “Arbus: In the Beginning,” and ‘‘Unfinished: Thoughts Left Visible.” The presentation of the first is stunning, with each of the photographs framed in black and hung on a gray wall partition column stretching from floor to ceiling, set in rows and layers when highlighting the layers of the emotional relationships that the influential artist tended to have with her unconventional subjects; the second presents great artworks across centuries, all left unfinished.
