LYNN ZELEVANSKY APPOINTED DIRECTOR OF CARNEGIE MUSEUM

Carol Vogel reports in the New York Times that the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh has named Lynn Zelevansky, who leads the contemporary art department at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, as its new director. For the past fourteen years, Zelevansky has primarily been a curator and writer at the Los Angeles museum, where she organized numerous exhibitions like “Beyond Geometry: Experiments in Form, 1940s to 1970s.” Before that she worked at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, where she helped William Rubin with the legendary 1989 show “Picasso and Braque: Pioneering Cubism.” Zelevansky is replacing Richard Armstrong, who was named director of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation in September.
