We’re Sure Those Cleveland Winters Have Nothing To Do With This

The curator of drawings at the Cleveland Museum of Art is leaving town to take up a similar position at tghe Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Carter Foster’s resume reads like a listing of the top American art museums, and he was celebrated in Cleveland for his success in acquiring new works for an already impressive collection, and for curating several important shows in his eight years in Ohio. The move from Cleveland to LACMA means that Foster will have a much larger staff and more exhibition space, but LA’s collection is nowhere near as complete as the one he is leaving behind. The CMA has not yet decided whether Foster will be replaced.
