Now open, Marcel is the result of a partnership between Sotheby's and design firm Roman and Williams and ushers this historic building into a new era. First built in 1966, the building has long been a focal point for the city's art scene, housing the Whitney Museum for 50 years, and acting as an outpost for The Met and a temporary storage space for the Frick Collection since. A Brutalist marvel, the building's domineering look proved polarizing.
