A Million Dollars Will Get You a Museum Director

July 8, 2013 by Marion Maneker

Bloomberg’s Philip Boroff went through the 2012 tax filings of a number of arts organizations to come up with these salaries for their leaders:

◊ Glenn Lowry, director of the Museum of Modern Art, earned about the same, $1.8 million in 2011.

◊ Thomas Campbell, who was named to the position of Met director in September 2008 and earned $1.1 million.

◊ James Cuno, president and chief executive of the J. Paul Getty Trust earned $1.1 million in 2012.

◊ The Los Angeles County Museum of Art paid Chief Executive Michael Govan $1.3 million.

◊ Over at the smaller Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, director Jeffrey Deitch, who has had to battle an uprising among his board, earned $916,000.
