Naming James N. Wood, who led the Art Institute of Chicago, as president and CEO of the J. Paul Getty Trust may be just the thing to repair the damage caused by his predecessor, Barry Munitz. “By selecting Wood, the trustees have shown that they listen to critics. Wood’s appointment is for just five years, but that could be ample time for the Getty to put the scandals behind it and start living up to its potential.”
