Plans for a museum to house the Pace Foundation's collection of more than 500 contemporary art works have been on the drawing board for a few years.

In the red

Famed British architect David Adjaye’s preliminary design for the collection of the late San Antonio art patron Linda Pace features cantilevered skylights above four spacious galleries. To be located on Camp Street in a spot currently occupied by an old warehouse, the building will be clad in red, the signature color for Pace, who once dreamed of an idyllic “ruby city” and named the book about her creation of Artpace’s internationally-respected artists’ residency program “Dreaming Red.”

But what promises to be one of San Antonio’s most architecturally significant buildings is now in “pause mode,” said Rick Moore, director of the Linda Pace Foundation. The economic meltdown has caused the foundation’s assets (which peaked at an estimated $75 million) to decline by a third, he said, putting the plans for the collection on hold, although he said that the foundation’s annual $1 million support of Artpace’s operating budget is assured.

As for the building, Pace selected David Adjaye as the architect before her death, and his initial design includes all of four exhibition spaces. “Initial thoughts,” Moore tells us, “might be that only one of those spaces might contain a rotating selection of works from Linda’s collection. As for the other three spaces, we’re trying to figure out … what would work to create a vibrant building with these spaces.” In terms of time frame, within about a year Moore says he’s “hopeful that we will have completed the schematic design phase and moved to the design development phase so that we’ll be able to present a model to the public.” Regarding actual construction, Moore suggests that “absent further deterioration in the capital markets” (and this was pre-Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch meltdown last weekend), they might be able to break ground within a “four year window.” Acquisitions for the collection and granting activities (apart from the Foundation's ongoing relationship with Artpace) are on the back burner for now. First, finances must be sorted out, policies and procedures must be instituted and a design for the building must be agreed upon. Until then, we’ll have to hold our breath to find out what kind of a role the Linda Pace Foundation will play in the local and national art scene.

So even if the 4 year plan was optimistic, we could be hearing more of this new project soon.
As for David Adjaye, he designed the Museum of Contemporary Art in Denver.
