I think to write her off as pop is to not see all the connections and nods to history she is layering into her designs. The first time I heard her speak, one of my friends said "Who the hell does she think she is? How the hell could she do that to New York?" regarding Jacob Javitz Plaza while I, on the other hand was swooning. A year later the same friend said "She really knows what she's doing. I was wrong - she's not just f-cking around." Hmmm, I think maybe I’d categorize Martha’s wit as POMO.

I'm not sure what the Modernists would say about the bagel garden that made her famous!
