The seasoned curator will succeed Glenn Lowry in September 2025, marking a pivotal leadership transition for the museum.

Christophe Cherix, MoMA’s chief curator of drawings and prints since 2013, has been appointed as the museum’s next director.
Cherix was unanimously selected by MoMA’s board of trustees following a global search for Glenn Lowry’s successor.
He will officially assume his role in September 2025, becoming the seventh director in MoMA’s nearly 100-year history.
Cherix’s curatorial achievements include notable retrospectives for artists such as Ed Ruscha, Adrian Piper, and Marcel Broodthaers.
Outgoing director Glenn Lowry, who led MoMA for three decades, praised Cherix’s talent and leadership, ensuring a smooth transition for the institution.
