News from Chicago:
The Art Institute of Chicago’s search for a new leader was deemed “international.” Its choice, announced Thursday, was hyper-regional, a man who had been in the building all along.
James Rondeau, the highly regarded chair of the museum’s department of modern and contemporary art, will take over as president and Eloise W. Martin director Feb. 16, after a Thursday morning vote affirming his appointment by the institution’s board.
