The Invisible Hand

Herbert Muschamp (1947-2007)

Shocking and sad. Herb Muschamp, the quintessential New York Times architecture critic, has died at a relatively young age.

I found fault with nearly everything the man wrote but I certainly expected he'd go on and on for decades to come. He was articulate and boldly opinionated, a combination I respect in anyone regardless of their substance of their opinions.

I hope he maintained his exasperating dignity to the end.
