The Hammer Museum has named Zoe Ryan, formerly of ICA and Art Institute of Chicago, as its new director, replacing longtime leader Ann Philbin.
One of the highest profile jobs in L.A.'s art world has officially been filled: The UCLA Hammer Museum in Westwood announced Monday that its next director will be Zoë Ryan, who arrives from the Institute of Contemporary Art at the University of Pennsylvania. Ryan will replace Hammer director Ann Philbin, who after transforming the museum over 25 years, is scheduled to depart in November.
Before joining ICA, Ryan spent 14 years as the chair and curator of architecture and design at the Art Institute of Chicago, where she was in charge of a collection of more than 250,000 objects, including architectural models, furniture and photography. Architecture and design have not been at the forefront of the Hammer, so Ryan's expertise presents an opportunity.
