The construction of the new Fine Arts building became a reality March 19 when the old facility was razed to mere chunks of concrete and rubble.

With the destruction of the Amalia Fischbacher Fine Arts Building, some pieces of art were sent to the junk yard. Chris Daubert, art professor and former director of the City College Kondos Gallery, said that the art pieces that were sent to the junk yard were pieces that were either in bad condition or were student pieces from many years ago which students failed to retrieve.

Daubert also said none was part of the college’s valuable permanent art collection.

Among the pieces destroyed were ceramic reliefs that adorned the façade of the building, according to reprographics printing services operator Rusty Maghanoy.

According to Chris Iwata, dean of Humanities and Fine Arts, the permanent art collection will be transferred to the new Kondos Gallery.

“We also loaned some pieces to the State Chancellor’s office,” Iwata said.

Classes previously being taught in the old Fine Arts building have been relocated to a temporary building directly across from Hughes Stadium. Though art students are not complaining about the relocation, some fear summer heat will affect the new classroom.

“It could get really muggy, and it was really hard to concentrate when we were feeling uncomfortable,” said Avery Milbrot, a City College art major. “I’m looking forward to new perks the Fine Arts building will have. I can’t wait for it to open.”

The new Fine Arts building will be “a big plus” for art on campus, according to Iwata. It will be equipped with spacious classrooms that will have big windows to allow natural light in. The new building will also have air-conditioning, heating and climate control for the art that will be displayed in the gallery.

The original Fine Arts Building was built during the 1930s and was home to three nationally recognized local painters who began their work and taught at City College: Gregory Kondos, Wayne Thiebaud and Fred Dalkey.

The new Fine Arts Building is scheduled to open in the fall of 2010.
