MOCA Los Angeles Brings In an Outsider's Eye to Lead the Museum

· 1 min read

Jonathan Abbott, who most recently led the nonprofit GBH, has been named the new director of the Museum of Contemporary Art Los Angeles. The appointment marks a departure from the museum's usual playbook, drawing its next leader from outside the traditional art-world track. MOCA's board will now look to Abbott to steer one of the city's defining contemporary art institutions forward.

With reporting from Artnet News.
