“[Dallas’s] Nasher Sculpture Center opened a year ago to nearly universal critical acclaim… Nothing has happened since to discredit those opinions. The trifecta of Renzo Piano’s building, Raymond and Patsy Nasher’s exemplary collection and Peter Walker’s lush garden has produced a cultural attraction that actually deserves the overused acclamation ‘world class.'” So why hasn’t the Nasher’s attendance matched its reputation? In its first year of existence, the Nasher drew 175,000 visitors, compared with 425,000 for the Dallas Museum of Art and 370,000 for Fprt Worth’s Kimbell Museum.
