More after the break.

“With the collections now numbering some 63,000 objects—more than half of them works of art created after 1900—the need for a building dedicated to these expanding collections is unquestioned,” continued Kinder.

The three firms will develop concepts for a new building which will be situated on a two-acre and will house post-1990 art.   In addition, the projects must address the needs for a parking garage and integration with the surrounding MFAH buildings.  It is an exciting competition as the new building will be adjacent to the Isamu Noguchi-designed Lillie and Hugh Roy Cullen Sculpture Garden, across from Moneo’s Audrey Jones Beck Building and Mies van der Rohe’s Caroline Wiess Law Building.  We’ll keep you updated with the proposals.
