New Museum of Contemporary Art

New Museum of Contemporary Art

In December 2007, the New Museum opened its distinct building designed by the Pritzker Prize–winning architects Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa/SANAA. Located at 235 Bowery, the building is distinguished by its minimalist design. For the restrooms, the Tokyo–based architects selected a super–graphic pattern of pixilated cherry blossoms juxtaposed against hotly hued fields of orange and turquoise, covering the bathroom walls.
