Palm Springs Art Museum’s Executive Director Resigns Just Before Museum Reopens

Louis Grachos had a two-year stint, including a year of pandemic shutdown marred by controversy surrounding the museum’s response to George Floyd’s killing and by the deaccessioning and sale of a massive Helen Frankenthaler painting. Grachos is returning to New Mexico, where he’ll be ED of “the contemporary arts organization SITE Sante Fe, which he led from 1996 to 2003.” – Los Angeles Times
