\n\tThe Museum of Modern Art<\/a> in New York has named Christophe Cherix<\/a> as its next director, succeeding Glenn Lowry, who has led the institution for three decades. The New York Times<\/em> first reported<\/a> the news on Friday afternoon.<\/p>\n

\n\tCherix begins in his new position this September. He has served as chief curator of MoMA\u2019s prints and drawings department since 2013.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cMoMA has long been a leader in embracing new forms of expression, amplifying the voices of artists from around the globe, and engaging the broadest audiences onsite and online,\u201d Cherix said in a statement. \u201cAs the Museum approaches its centennial, my highest priority is to support its exceptional staff and ensure that their unique ability to navigate the ever-evolving present continues to thrive.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHis curatorial credits include a range of recent retrospectives that have received widespread praise. In 2023, there was his Ed Ruscha retrospective<\/a>, undertaken with Los Angeles County Museum of Art director Michael Govan, for which Cherix personally facilitated the revival of the artist\u2019s rarely seen 1970 Chocolate Room<\/em> installation, which debuted at that year\u2019s Venice Biennale. And in 2018, there was a retrospective for Adrian Piper, co-organized with David Platzker and Connie Butler, that was briefly the largest exhibition ever mounted by the institution.<\/p>\n

\n\tWith Manuel Borja-Villel, he also organized a 2016 Marcel Broodthaers retrospective at MoMA, as well as a survey of Yoko Ono\u2019s art of the 1960s and \u201970s that he co-organized with Klaus Biesenbach.<\/p>\n

\n\tMarie-Jos\u00e9e Kravis, the chair of MoMA\u2019s board, said in a statement, \u201cChristophe\u2019s brilliant curatorial leadership in modern and contemporary art, deep insight and passion for MoMA\u2019s collection, and reputation for steady stewardship stood out as indispensable qualities to meet the moment as the Museum\u2019s next director. We are thrilled that after a rigorous global search, the Trustees voted unanimously to appoint Christophe, and that he accepted the appointment.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tPrior to taking the reins at the drawings and prints department, he led MoMA\u2019s prints and illustrated books department. The current drawings and prints department was the result of a merger between the prints and illustrated books team and a separate drawings team.<\/p>\n

\n\tHe first joined MoMA in 2007, having previously been curator of the\u00a0Cabinet des estampes at the Mus\u00e9e d\u2019art et d\u2019histoire in Geneva.<\/p>\n

\n\tCherix will follow the conclusion of Glenn Lowry\u2019s longtime leadership of MoMA<\/a>. Lowry announced plans to depart last year, having led the museum through two renovations and one expansion. He has directed MoMA since 1995.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhen Cherix was appointed chief curator of prints and illustrated books by MoMA in 2010, Lowry called him an \u201coutstanding curator who has demonstrated leadership in organizing exhibitions and working with MoMA\u2019s extensive collection of prints and illustrated books.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tCherix is now the seventh person ever to direct MoMA in its nearly 100-year history.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn a statement, Lowry said, \u201cI have been privileged to work with Christophe for more than fifteen years at MoMA, and I am delighted that the Board has chosen him to be the next director of the Museum. In the months ahead, we will work together to ensure a smooth and successful transition. Christophe is a gifted and talented curator, and I Iook forward to seeing the Museum evolve and thrive under his able direction.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
