...work, abstraction prevails in the show's most lyrical and contemplative composition, a suite of untitled drawings by Flora F. Zhang '00. Three greenish pieces of found ledger paper provide fertile ground for the variety of Zhang's alternately delicate and aggressive charcoal and ink marks. Tiny red dots spiral in clusters from the tabulations of an anonymous accountant, while green spots mark the time of some alien music or growth patterns.

There are, of course, difficulties here, because the size of some of Gehry's galleries and their eccentricity of shape is bound to tell against the smaller paintings. Moreover, as a work of art in its own right, the museum is far more interesting than many of its contents--the dull, inflated conceptual art and late...
