Today on Modern Art Notes: Why are NYC’s biggest art museums suddenly growing?

So what in the name of Coldwell Banker is going in with New York’s art museums?

In the last week, MoMA has added space on West 53rd Street by buying the American Folk Art Museum’s building. The Metropolitan Museum of Art has added space by taking over the Whitney Museum of American Art’s Upper East Side building. That just-announced arrangement takes effect in 2015. The Whitney will add space by building a new Renzo Piano design in New York’s Meatpacking District. And who could forget that the Guggenheim previously announced that it wants to add space… in Finland?

Most of of these deals have been announced in just the last week. Why? Modern Art Notes explains.
