Christophe Cherix Named New Director of MoMA
The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) has selected Christophe Cherix as its next director, a strategic appointment that promises to bring innovative leadership to one of the world's most renowned art institutions.
Cherix, currently serving as the Robert Lehman Foundation Chief Curator of Drawings and Prints at MoMA, has been a pivotal figure in the museum's curatorial team. His appointment comes after an extensive international search following Glenn Lowry's long-standing tenure.
Key highlights of Cherix's background include:
- Extensive experience in contemporary art curation
- Proven track record of innovative exhibition design
- Deep understanding of global art movements
- Strong commitment to diversity and representation in art
Museum experts anticipate that Cherix will likely focus on expanding MoMA's global perspective, potentially increasing representation of international and marginalized artists. His background in print and drawing collections suggests he may emphasize interdisciplinary approaches to art presentation.
The transition represents an exciting moment for MoMA, signaling potential new directions in curatorial strategy and institutional vision. Cherix's appointment reflects the museum's commitment to dynamic, forward-thinking leadership in the contemporary art world.
