The $164 million expansion of Taiwan’s oldest modern and contemporary museum commenced on Friday with a groundbreaking ceremony in Taipei Expo Park. The nearly 500,000-square-foot building is expected to be complete in 2028. Claudia Gould will leave her post as at the New York museum in June 2023 after 11 years.
The 1,500-work-strong collection assembled by Ann and Gordon Getty, ranging from Asian works of art to Impressionist and Old Master paintings, is expected to fetch $180 million at a series of Christie’s sales in New York this month. The government is backing three projects at the National Museum of Contemporary Art with €1.7 million in funding from the national recovery fund. The money will support digitization of the museum’s archive and the promotion of Greek artists and curators abroad.
