BROOKLYN MUSEUM APPOINTS DEPUTY DIRECTOR FOR DEVELOPMENT
Paul Johnson has been appointed deputy director for development at the Brooklyn Museum following an intensive search. Johnson will assume his new position, which will report to museum director Arnold L. Lehman, in mid-April.
Johnson headed up the development and membership program at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, then served as senior vice president for business development and director of Sotheby’s Los Angeles. He has also served as deputy director for external affairs at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and director of development at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles.
Most recently, Johnson has worked with the Getty Foundation and Research Institute as a consultant on fund-raising for the enormously complex 2011 project “Pacific Standard Time: Art in LA 1945–1980,” a collaboration of more than forty visual and performing arts institutions throughout Southern California.
