PAMELA JOYNER NAMED TRUSTEE OF J. PAUL GETTY TRUST
Charles Desmarais of SF Gate writes that San Francisco philanthropist and art collector Pamela Joyner has been named a trustee of the J. Paul Getty Trust. Joyner is well-known for her collection of works by African American artists and artists of the African diaspora.
“[Joyner] brings financial expertise and sensitivity to our educational role,” said James Cuno, the Getty Trust president. “She understands the Getty as a ‘small university.’ She also has a deep understanding of the value of a research library. She’s put together a sizable research library of her own and she understands how such libraries are built. We are thrilled.”
Joyner is also a member of the Tate International Council, the Modern and Contemporary Art Visiting Committee of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Director’s Circle of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. In addition, she serves as a trustee at the Art Institute of Chicago. The Getty Trust oversees the Getty Foundation, the Getty Conservation Institute, and the J. Paul Getty Museum, which includes the Getty Center and the Getty Villa in Los Angeles.
