February 27, 2009 by Marion Maneker

koshalekMike Boehm at Culture Monster has the news:

Ousted last year as president of Pasadena’s Art Center College of Design, Richard Koshalek will return to the museum world in the nation’s capital as director of the Smithsonian Institution’s Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden. G. Wayne Clough, the Smithsonian’s new secretary, announced the appointment, effective April 13, in a statement, citing Koshalek’s “vast experience in both the education and museum worlds.” Before taking over Art Center’s top spot in 1999 with a mandate to raise money and expand the campus, Koshalek, 67, was an institution-building director of L.A.’s Museum of Contemporary Art during the 1980s and 1990s.
