.- Another round of coronavirus staff reductions has come to the Whitney Museum of American Art, as 15 workers in 11 departments were told they were being laid off, the museums director, Adam Weinberg, said in an email to employees last week.
The move was cast as part of an ongoing attempt to address the dire financial effects of the coronavirus pandemic. The layoffs were first reported by Artnet News.
