Guggenheim's Incoming Interim Director Draws Criticism
While “smart” and a “team player,” Marc Steglitz, the newly appointed interim director of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, in New York, is “no art professional,” writes Lee Rosenbaum, a cultural reporter, on Culture Grrl.
Mr. Steglitz, whom Ms. Rosenbaum calls a “capable number-cruncher,” is the chief operating officer at the museum. His appointment as interim director, which starts September 1, follows the “sudden resignation” of Lisa Dennison, a longtime Guggenheim insider who will join the auction house Sotheby’s in September as executive vice president.
The Guggenheim’s board has promised to make the permanent replacement of Ms. Dennison a high priority. Ms. Rosenbaum says that can’t happen “soon enough.”
