2. Consideration and Possible Action to Adopt a Resolution
WHEREAS, The long-standing relationship between the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco and the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco is one of mutual respect and consideration; and
WHEREAS, In 1959, Avery Brundage and his wife, Elizabeth,
agreed to donate part of his magnificent Asian art collection to the City of
San Francisco on the condition that the City would build a new de Young Museum wing to house the collection; and
WHEREAS, A bond issue on the City’s 1960 ballot to replace the west wing of the de Young Museum with a building to house the Brundage collection passed with an overwhelming majority, and the new wing opened to great acclaim in 1966; and
WHEREAS, In keeping with Mr. Brundage’s wishes for autonomy for his collection, the City established the Center for Asian Art and Culture in 1969, which became the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco in 1972, a separate entity from the M. H. de Young Memorial Museum; and
WHEREAS, Upon his death in 1975, Mr. Brundage bequeathed his remaining art collection to the Asian Art Museum, creating a major collection of Asian art in an American museum; and
WHEREAS, In 1987, the City approved a plan to revitalize the Civic Center, which included the construction of a new main public library, followed by the passage in 1994 of a bond measure to renovate the "old" Main Library in the Civic Center as the future home of the Asian Art Museum; and
WHEREAS, The new Asian Art Museum, designed by renowned Italian architect Gae Aulenti, will open to the public in Spring 2003; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That after residing side by side in the former de Young
Museum building for more than thirty-five years, the Fine Arts Museums bids a fond farewell to the Asian Art Museum; and, be it
FURTHER RESOLVED, That the Board of Trustees and staff of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco do hereby congratulate the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco on accomplishing the move to its new, expanded facility in the Civic Center, and extend heartfelt and warmest wishes for every future success.
