Stanford Contemporary Art Museum Moves Forward with Architect

December 15, 2011 by Marion Maneker

ENNEAD ARCHITECTS The Mercersburg Academy, Burgin Center for the Arts

Mike Boehm announces the choice of architects for Stanford’s new Contemporary Art museum:

New York-based Ennead Architects will design a 30,000-square-foot building devoted to the Anderson Collection –- 121 works by 86 artists collected by a Bay Area family, including Jackson Pollock’s 1947 “Lucifer,” Willem de Kooning’s mid-1950s “Woman Standing – Pink,” and pieces by Ellsworth Kelly, Mark Rothko and Franz Kline, among others. Plans call for a late 2014 opening. […] Ennead (which changed its name from Polshek Partnership in 2010) also is the architect for Stanford’s Bing Concert Hall, an 844-seat, $112-million venue with acoustics by Yasuhisa Toyota (Walt Disney Concert Hall, Soka Performing Arts Center), that’s under construction and scheduled to open in 2013; the firm’s past projects include the Newseum in Washington, D.C., and Bill Clinton’s presidential library in Little Rock, Ark.

Stanford’s arts-building boom also includes the $85-million Burton and Deedee McMurtry Building, being designed by Diller Scofidio + Renfro as the new home of the university’s art and art history department. Plans call for a late-2015 completion. The namesakes donated $30 million toward construction.
