Parrish Art Museum to Open New Building in November The Parrish Art Museum's new home in Water Mill, N.Y. - designed by Herzog & de Meuron - will open on Nov. 10, the museum is set to announce on Tuesday. The 34,400-square-foot building, on a 14-acre site, will nearly double the size of the existing museum on Jobs Lane, and triple the exhibition space. Reed Hilderbrand, the landscape architecture firm, collaborated on the project. The new building has been a long time in the making; the architects had to scale back their original $80 million design in 2009 when the museum was unable to raise funds for the first iteration; this version came in at $26.2 million. "The completion of the new Parrish is like arriving in the Promised Land," Norman Peck, the board treasurer who as a member of the building committee has worked on creating a new Parrish since 1998, said in a statement. Some of the museum's collection of more than 2,600 works - which range from the 19th century to the present - will be shown for the first time in the museum's 115-year history. An inaugural special exhibition, "Malcolm Morley: On Paper," will be on view through Jan. 13.
