George Weissman, Who Led Lincoln Center, Dies at 90

“George Weissman, who helped transform Philip Morris from a midlevel tobacco company to a diversified conglomerate known for contributions to the arts, and who then led Lincoln Center for nearly a decade,” has died. Weissman pushed Philip Morris “to become a major donor to arts groups, particularly experimental undertakings,” and “installed a branch of the Whitney Museum of American Art on the ground floor of the company’s new Park Avenue headquarters.”
