We are delighted to continue our long relationship with the Clark Art Institute designing the new Aso O. Tavitian Wing. The project is funded by one of the largest gifts in the museum’s history from the estate of the late philanthropist Aso O. Tavitian, which includes over 330 artworks and $45 million to support the collection and fund the new construction. The addition will connect the existing Museum Building and Manton Research Center, providing a dynamic new space to display Mr. Tavitian’s personal collection. Anticipated for completion between 2027 and 2028, this project represents Selldorf Architects’ third major collaboration with the Clark, following the renovation of the Museum Building in 2014 and the Manton Research Center in 2016.

It is hard to think of other urban locations that have this harmonious mix.
