Guggenheim director Thomas Krens has big shoes. “At times this inconsistent, even wacky, programming was a lot of fun. For one thing, it showed that Krens was not shy about taking chances. After all, you don’t see many museums attempt to cram 5,000 years worth of Chinese art into one small building, as Krens did in 1998, then turn around the same year and put on a display of Harley-Davidsons.”
