The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) announced on Friday that Christophe Cherix will become its next director, beginning this September. The Swiss curator, who is currently MoMA\u2019s chief curator of drawings and prints, first joined the museum in 2007. He is set to succeed Glenn D. Lowry, who has led the institution since 1995. Lowry will leave MoMA as its longest-serving director to date. <\/p>\n

In his tenure at the institution, Cherix has curated landmark exhibitions including \u201cED RUSCHA<\/a> \/ NOW THEN\u201d in 2023, \u201cAdrian Piper<\/a>: A Synthesis of Intuitions\u201d in 2018, and \u201cYoko Ono<\/a>: One Woman Show\u201d in 2015. He has also overseen acquisitions of major collections that have expanded MoMA\u2019s holdings significantly.<\/p>\n

\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,\u201d said Marie-Jos\u00e9e Kravis, the chair of MoMA\u2019s board, in a press statement accompanying the announcement. <\/p>\n

Born in Switzerland, Cherix studied at the University of Geneva. Prior to joining MoMA, he was a curator at Mus\u00e9e d\u2019art et d\u2019histoire in Geneva. \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 he said in a press 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

Since September 2024, when Lowry announced his intention to step down, speculation over the identity of his successor has been widespread in the art world. Thelma Golden, the director and chief curator of the Studio Museum in Harlem<\/a>, and Jessica Morgan, director of the Dia Art Foundation<\/a>, were thought to be among those in contention for the job.<\/p>\n

In 2018, Lowry was approved by MoMA\u2019s board to extend his tenure past 2020, when he was previously set to retire, based on a museum policy requiring senior staff to retire at age 65. <\/p>\n

\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,\u201d Lowry said in a press statement. \u201cChristophe 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":"
