Guggenheim loses director
Lisa Dennison, director of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, is leaving her post for a top job with Sotheby’s as the auction house seeks to strengthen its position in the contemporary-art market.
Dennison, 54, will become executive vice president of the auctioneer’s North and South America division in September, said Diana Phillips, Sotheby’s worldwide director of corporate affairs. Dennison will focus on modern and contemporary art and on “business development” and building client relationships, Phillips said.
Dennison joined the Guggenheim in 1978 as an exhibition coordinator. She became the Guggenheim New York’s director in October 2006.
