Artnet: Miguel Quismondo, the Architect Behind Magazzino Italian Art, Prizes His Wind-Up Watch and His Patience—But Doesn’t Believe in Waiting for a Table

So much of the art world orbits around questions of value, not only in term of appraisals and price tags, but also: What is worthy of your time in These Times, as well as your energy, your attention, and yes, your hard-earned cash?

What is the math that you do to determine something’s meaning and worth? What moves you? What enriches your life? In this new series, we’re asking individuals from the art world and beyond about the valuations that they make at a personal level.

Spanish architect Miguel Quismondo is a patient precisionist. Those tandem virtues come to the fore at Magazzino Italian Art, a 20,000-square-foot museum designed by the architect, and nestled in New York’s Hudson Valley.
