James N. Wood has died
"James N. Wood, who was the director of the Art Institute
of Chicago for 25 years and took over as president and chief
executive of the Getty Trust in Los Angeles in 2006, helping to steer it
through a turbulent period, died Friday at his home in the Brentwood
neighborhood of Los Angeles. He was 69 and also had a home in Bristol, R.I. Mr. Wood died of natural causes, the trust said, but no
cause of death was announced. In his years at the Chicago institute, Mr. Wood became one
of the most respected museum leaders in the country, overseeing an expansion of
its world-class collection, renovations of all its departments, the
construction of a new wing and the initial planning for a second addition. He
also helped conceive well-regarded exhibitions - a Monet
retrospective in 1995 and a van Gogh
and Gauguin show in 2001 - that broke attendance records for the museum. - The New York Times Art & Design To see the entire article and access the links: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/15/arts/design/15wood.html?_r=1
