Richard Armstrong moves to the Guggenheim

We all know about the Met’s new director, but it seems director jobs are in flux throughout the museum world.  Richard Armstrong, longtime director of a museum close to my heart and home, the Carnegie Museum of Art, has just recently been appointed director of the Guggenheim Foundation.  The Carnegie has been a leader in contemporary and modern art for a long time (see my review on this year’s Carnegie International), so Armstrong is a logical next choice.  I’ll be interested to see what the Guggenheim does under his direction — congratulations to him.
