Descripción del Profesional del arte

Anne Pasternak (born 1964) is an art critic and curator. She is the current Shelby White and Leon Levy Director of the Brooklyn Museum. Pasternak was born in New York City and received her undergraduate degree in Art History from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. She went on to receive her Masters in Art History from Hunter College (New York) In 1993 Anne Pasternak left Real Art Ways and became the executive director of Creative Time. As the director of Creative Time, Pasternak curated and organized numerous exhibitions, events, discussions, and spectacles including the annual "Tribute In Light" event, a memorial for the events of September 11, 2001, and Kara Walker's "A Subtlety" a large public installation that appropriated a foreclosed sugar factory in Brooklyn's Williamsburg neighborhood. In 2015, Pasternak left Creative Time and replaced Arnold Lehman as the director of the Brooklyn Museum. Pasternak's directorship at the Brooklyn Museum marks the first time a woman has kept a directing role in an encyclopedic New York museum (the other one being the Metropolitan Museum of Art).[4] As a former director of a public art organization, this new position represents a shift in her career from a broader public sphere into the architecture of a museum.
