When Adam Weinberg was announced as the new head of the Whitney Museum of American Art, observers could only wonder at the task ahead of the soft-spoken man who had just accepted the top job at one of the world’s most tumultuous museums. “After more than a decade of crises and turmoil… the Whitney has entered what Mr. Weinberg said was a ‘period of healing.’ And while he said he did not want to appear to be a ‘New Age director,’ curators say his two favorite words are holistic and synergy.” Still, Weinberg can’t play Mr. Nice Guy forever, and most expect that some major personnel changes are in the offing.
