FRICK AND WHITNEY SEARCH FOR NEW DIRECTORS

Speculation about who will take over the directorships of the Frick and the Whitney has become the hot topic in the art world during an otherwise quiet summer, writes Carol Vogel in the New York Times. The leading candidate to run the Frick Collection is Anne L. Poulet, a specialist in European decorative arts, according to those close to the search. At the Whitney Museum of American Art, which is also looking for a new director, board members are interviewing candidates and remain undecided.
