The J. Paul Getty Trust in Los Angeles announced today that
James Cuno is stepping down as its president and chief executive after leading the institution for a decade. Given that the Getty is the world’s wealthiest art institution, Cuno’s retirement is certain to spawn wide speculation about what successor the trust will choose and what direction the Getty will pursue next.
The Getty’s board chairman, David Lee, said that the board would appoint an international search committee to locate a replacement.
Cuno is a prolific writer, art historian and curator who took over as president and chief executive in 2011 after serving as president of the Art Institute of Chicago, director of the Courtauld Institute of Art in London and director of the Harvard Art Museums in Massachusetts, among other positions.
