Getty Names Wood As New CEO

James Wood has been named as new president and CEO of the Getty Trust. Wood formerly ran the Chicago Art Institute. “One of the very appealing things about the Getty to me is that its collecting opportunities are really quite open. We were not left with an iron-clad restriction, so the opportunity is there to make the most of changing times — both in terms of the legality of acquisitions and in the cost and the importance of different cultures for both Los Angeles and the nation.”
