Studio Museum in Harlem Aims High with New $122m Building

July 6, 2015 by Marion Maneker

Robin Pogrebin announced the Studio Museum’s plans for an ambitious new building that validates the success of Thelma Golden’s leadership over the last decade. The current museum sees 100,000 visitors a year:

The Studio Museum in Harlem, whose ambitions have long been checked by the limitations of its 1914 building, will construct a new $122 million home designed by the British architect David Adjaye on West 125th Street. […]

New York City is contributing $35.3 million to the Studio Museum project, $11.4 million of which was just allocated in the budget for fiscal year 2016. Tom Finkelpearl, the city’s cultural affairs commissioner, called the project a “great investment.”

The Ford Foundation donated $3 million. (The rest is to be raised from other sources.)

“The time has come for the Studio Museum to have a physical space that is worthy of its aspiration and ambition,” said Darren Walker, the Ford Foundation president.
