Getty makes collections hire

The Getty Museum has hired David Bomfort as associate director for collections, filling a key leadership post with a senior restorer of paintings who has been at the National Gallery in London since 1968.

Bomfort, who begins April 23, will oversee the museum’s collections development, care and installation, supervising six curatorial departments, four conservation departments and the registrar’s office. He was a visiting scholar at the Getty in 2005.
