MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY ART SAN DIEGO OPENS ITS
NEW FACILITY ON JANUARY 21, 2007 AT TRANSIT AND CULTURAL HUB IN DOWNTOWN SAN DIEGO
San Diego, CA—With a community-wide free opening day on January 21, 2007, the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (MCASD) celebrates the completion of its new downtown facility located at a historic and international crossroads.
The Jacobs Building — a new exhibition venue — shares a historic arched concourse with the Santa Fe Depot train station, an important transit hub for regional commuter trains and trolleys, the Amtrak Pacific Surfliner, and travel to and from Tijuana, Mexico.
On view in the new Jacobs Building, as the inaugural exhibition in the Wortz Gallery, is Modern American Masters. This outstanding group of post-World War II American works by Barnett Newman, Ellsworth Kelly, Clyfford Still, Frank Stella, and Andy Warhol represent the pinnacle of American mid-century art practices, from Abstract Expressionism to Pop to early Minimalism.

Richard, what do you know about a large Richard Serra sculpture that is/was supposed to be installed permanently outside on the quai? Is this still in the works? KF

The Serra is indeed installed, permanently and outdoors, between the museum and the train tracks. It was the reason I walked around the back of the building and happened to spot the loading dock tag.
