The Fisher Landau Center for Art is founded in a former parachute-harness factory
The Fisher Landau Center for Art was established in 1991. Its three-story, 25,000-square-foot home at 38-27 30th Street, once a parachute-harness factory, was turned into galleries and a library by English architect Max Gordon, designer of London's Saatchi Collection, working with the collection's curator Bill Katz. Until 2003 the center could be visited only by appointment.
