If you haven’t visited Glenstone in Potomac, Maryland, yet, hurry up and go! The most spectacular part of the sprawling art campus located a half-hour northwest of Washington D.C., The Pavilions, is closing in mid-March for renovations that could take up to a year.
Opened with much fanfare in October 2018, the 204,000-square-foot exhibition building containing 11 cubic concrete galleries surrounding a water court was designed by New York-based Thomas Phifer and Partners to house single-artist installations of works by the likes of Michael Heizer, Roni Horn, Brice Marden, and Cy Twombly. Neither the museum nor the architect has elaborated on the nature of the renovations, leaving only speculation about what could cause such a young building—which cost approximately $200 million to construct—to shut down for so long.
