BAM
History,
Collections,
and
Exhibitions
The
museum
was
founded
in
1963
following
artist
and
teacher
Hans
Hofmann's
donation
of
forty-five
paintings
and
$250,
000
to
the
University
today
BAM/PFA's
collection
of
work
by
this
important
Abstract
Expressionist
artist
remains
the
largest
in
any
museum
internationally.
An
architectural
competition
to
design
the
new
museum
building
was
announced
in
November
1964,
and
the
following
year
San
Francisco
architect
Mario
Ciampi
and
associates
Richard
L.
Jorasch
and
Ronald
E.
Wagner
were
named
the
winners.
The
jury
declared,
"The
richness
of
this
building
will
arise
from
the
sculptural
beauty
of
its
rugged
major
forms
and
will
not
require
costly
materials
or
elaborate
details.
We
believe
this
design...can
become
one
of
the
outstanding
contributions
to
museum
design
in
our
time."
Construction
began
in
1967,
and
the
building
opened
on
November
7,
1970.
Over
three
decades

collection
has
evolved
with
particular
strengths
in
historical
and
contemporary
Asian
art

American
painting
mid-twentieth-century,
Conceptual,

contemporary
international
art
and
