The Clark Art Institute Reveals Design for New Aso O. Tavitian Wing
Selldorf Architects, July 20, 2026
The Clark Art Institute has unveiled Selldorf Architects’ design for the new Aso O. Tavitian Wing, a permanent home for the Aso O. Tavitian Collection. The new purpose-built wing will significantly expand the Clark’s gallery and art storage spaces and seamlessly connect the main museum building and Manton Research Center, both previously renovated by Selldorf Architects. Reed Hilderbrand, longtime collaborators with the Clark and Selldorf Architects, will provide landscape design to connect the new wing to the Clark’s iconic pastoral setting.
“This elegant new addition to the Clark campus will be the physical manifestation of two great visions: the unparalleled eye of collector Aso O. Tavitian, and the peerless design of architect Annabelle Selldorf. When complete, the building will fit seamlessly into our landscape and greatly enhance the experience of all visitors,” said Esther Bell, Hardymon Director of the Clark.
