The New Museum in New York appoints Massimiliano Gioni as its next director, with the change taking effect August 1. Gioni has served as the museum’s artistic director since 2014. He succeeds Lisa Phillips, who announced her departure last fall after leading the institution for 26 years. Both outlets report that Gioni is the former artistic director moving into the top role at the museum. The appointment makes him the third person to lead the New Museum since its founding in 1977. The New Museum’s leadership transition follows Phillips’ long tenure and announcement of her retirement, and it positions Gioni to continue steering the museum after an internal period overseeing artistic programming. No additional details about the museum’s immediate plans or Gioni’s priorities are included in the provided reports.
