founder Donald Fisher announced yesterday that his proposal to build a contemporary art museum in San Francisco’s Presidio national park has moved a step forward, Bloomberg reports. The board of the Presidio Trust, which operates the park, has agreed to enter negotiations over lease terms and other issues on the project. Last week, it decided to start exclusive negotiations with Fisher, who first proposed the museum in August. Fisher also said yesterday that he would contribute $10 million to renovate the Presidio’s main parade ground near the proposed museum, which is now mostly a paved parking lot. The project faces months or years of approvals before construction can begin. (Artinfo, January 31, 2008) Read more >> Finnish Museum Gets 550 Novecento Works
