“This is well-deserved recognition of Gretchen’s expertise and stature among museum leaders across the country,” said Ruth V.

This prestigious appointment elevates Gretchen’s impressive work to the national stage.”
Dietrich joins the executive directors of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), The Museum of Modern Art (MOMA), Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, and the president of the Ford Foundation, among others on the board of Art Bridges.

All four loans are on view at the UMFA through October 4, 2020.
