뉴욕현대미술관(MoMA)의 새 디렉터로 크리스토프 셰릭스(Christophe Cherix, 55) 큐레이터가 선출됐다. MoMA 이사회는 28일 투표를 실시해 참석자 중 만장일치로 승인했다. 현재 MoMA의 드로잉및판화 수석 큐레이터인 크리스토프 셰릭스는 오는 9월부터 17억 달러의 기금을 보유한 MoMA와 MoMA PS1을 운영하게 된다. 

 

스위스에서 태어나 제네바의 미술사뮤지엄 큐레이터를 지낸 크리스토프 셰릭스는 2007년부터 MoMA에서 1960-70년대에 집중한 전시를 기획해왔다. 가장 큰 성공작은 에드 루샤의 2023년 회고전 'ED RUSCHA / NOW THEN'이며 재스퍼 존스(Jasper Johns: Regrets), 마르셀 브로타에스 회고전 (Marcel Broodthaers: A Retrospective), 애드리안 파이퍼(Adrian Piper: A Synthesis of Institutions, 1965–2016), 베티 사르(Betye Saar: Legends of Black Girl’s Window) 등 전시를 감독했다. 

 

지난해 9월 1995년부터 30년간  MoMA를  이끌어온 글렌 로리(Glenn D. Lowry)가 관장 사임의사를 발표하면서 할렘 스튜디오 뮤지엄의 델마 골든(Thelma Golden)이 강력한 후보자로 물망에 올랐었다.

Christophe Cherix Appointed Next Director of MoMA in September 2025

The Museum of Modern Art

 

The Museum of Modern Art announced today that after an intensive six-month international search, its Board affirmed a unanimous decision to appoint Christophe Cherix in September 2025 as the next David Rockefeller Director, to succeed Glenn D. Lowry.

 

Cherix joined the Museum’s curatorial staff in 2007, and has served as The Robert Lehman Foundation Chief Curator of Drawings and Prints since 2013. His appointment to that role followed a reorganization at MoMA that merged the Department of Prints and Illustrated Books, of which he had been Chief Curator since 2010, with the Department of Drawings. Prior to MoMA, Cherix served as curator of the Cabinet des Estampes at the Musée d’art et d’histoire in Geneva, Switzerland.

 

At MoMA, Cherix’s exhibitions have included ED RUSCHA / NOW THEN (2024), Betye Saar: Legends of Black Girl’s Window (with Esther Adler, 2019), Adrian Piper: A Synthesis of Institutions, 1965–2016 (with Connie Butler and David Platzker, 2018), Marcel Broodthaers: A Retrospective (with Manuel Borja-Villel, 2016), Yoko Ono: One Woman Show, 1960–1971 (with Klaus Biesenbach, 2015), Jasper Johns: Regrets (with Ann Temkin, 2014), Print/Out (2012), Contemporary Art from the Collection (with Kathy Halbreich, 2010), and In & Out of Amsterdam: Travels in Conceptual Art, 1960–1976 (2009). His work has been instrumental in the acquisition and integration into the Museum’s holdings of several major collections, including the Merrill C. Berman Collection, the Herman and Nicole Daled Collection and Archives, the Seth Siegelaub Collection and Archives, the Gilbert and Lila Silverman Fluxus Collection and Archives, and the Art & Project/Depot VBVR Collection. Cherix was born in Switzerland and received a license ès lettres from the University of Geneva. He was a Fellow of the Class of 2010 at the Center for Curatorial Leadership in New York, which included a residency at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
