Yesterday morning, in response to my query, the Guggenheim press office informed me that it would “be issuing a press release shortly” on the sudden resignation of Lisa Dennison from the New York museum directorship. It’s noon the next day; still no press release. (Believe me, I’ve asked.).
Could there be a little controversy over the wording?
Meanwhile, for some stunning insights into the mind of Thomas Krens, director of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation, go to this web exclusive on the Abu Dhabi museum project from Newsweek International.
Does Tom ever stop to realize that his only major triumph in establishing an international satellite was Bilbao, 10 years ago, and that this success owed a great deal to the political and administrative acumen of its Basque director, Juan Ignacio Vidarte?
