This show is both quite good and somewhat dispiriting.  It is an almost bodyless collaboration among three major international artists.  And yes, the three principals are all undeniably great (the new piece Steve Reich wrote for this show is especially good, maybe the best thing he's written in years -- perhaps because, as he has noted, Gerhard Richter's artistic approach impelled him to recur in part to the style of his early years).   But another outlet for Major Collaborative Works by the Established International Avant-Garde isn't going to make at least one visitor forgive the epic scar on the urban fabric this real estate development represents, built for the ultra-rich with money filched from taxpayers.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  Kāwi, the most forthrightly Korean (which is not to say it's straight Korean) of the Momofukus, is finally open for dinner as well as lunch, so they have you covered all day.  (Its adjacent sandwich/snack bar closes at 5 PM.)
