Gary Tinterow is Director of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. Previously, he served as the Engelhard Chairman of the Department of Nineteenth-Century, Modern and Contemporary Art at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. During his tenure at The Metropolitan Museum, he has organized dozens of acclaimed exhibitions, accompanied by significant publications, many of which were mounted in collaboration with, and traveled to, major museums around the world. A number of these shows were among the best-attended exhibitions ever presented at the Metropolitan, including Degas (1988); Splendid Legacy: The Havemeyer Collection (1993); Origins of Impressionism (1994); Portraits by Ingres: Image of an Epoch (1999); Manet/Velazquez, The French Taste for Spanish Painting (2004); Kara Walker at the Met: After the Deluge (2006), one of a series of exhibitions inviting artists to show their own work alongside objects they select from the collection; Francis Bacon: A Retrospective (2009); and Picasso in the Metropolitan Museum of Art (2010), an exhibition drawn solely from the Metropolitan's holdings that drew 700,000 visitors.

Since 2005, Tinterow has directed the Metropolitan's acclaimed "On the Roof" programming, commissioning seven site-specific projects from such artists as Cai Guo-Qiang, Frank Stella, Roxy Paine, Jeff Koons and Mike + Doug Starn. The projects have attracted up to 800,000 visitors during these six-month installations and have made the Roof Garden of the Metropolitan one of New York's top destinations. In addition, Tinterow played a key role in the conception and subsequent planning stages of the collaboration between the Metropolitan and the Whitney Museum of American Art to provide for the Metropolitan's expansion into the Whitney's landmark Marcel Breuerbuilding on Madison Avenue. Announced earlier this year, the project is slated to launch in 2015 with the Whitney's move to its new building on Gansevoort Street.

During his distinguished tenure, Tinterow has acquired dozens of significant works of art for the collection of theMetropolitan: from paintings by Ingres, Gericault and Delacroix to Manet, Degas and Seurat, and from Stanley Spencer and Robert Rauschenberg to George Condo; sculptures from Barbara Hepworth and Jean Tinguely to Anish Kapoor; prints from Pablo Picasso to Ellsworth Kelly and Julie Mehretu; and drawings by Diego Rivera and Matisse to Richard Serra; along with a monumental tapestry by El Anatsui.

In 1993, Tinterow spearheaded the museum's acquisition of two celebrated works by Van Gogh – including the artist's Wheatfield with Cypresses (1889), the most expensive purchase ever made by the Metropolitan. Tinterow was also instrumental to discussions that led to the gift from Ambassador and Mrs. Walter Annenberg of their collection of 53 works by Cezanne, Gauguin, Manet, Monet, Picasso and others. Since then, he has shepherded the gift and bequest of other renowned collections, including the gift of the Eugene V. Thaw collection of European oil sketches.

While at the Met, Tinterow also directed two significant gallery renovations that were widely praised: the renovation and reinstallation of the 30,000-square-foot Nineteenth-Century European Painting and Sculpture Galleries, which opened in 1993, and the 10,000-square-foot expansion to create the ten new adjacent galleries, completed in 2007, allowing the museum to display newly acquired European oil sketches, and paintings by Scandinavian and German artists, alongside its legendary collection of French Impressionist and Post-Impressionist paintings.

Tinterow has also conducted a range of national and international collaborative projects, and is currently organizing shows with the Musee d'Orsay and the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, the Art Institute of Chicago, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.

In addition to his extensive curatorial record, over three decades Tinterow has contributed extensively to scholarship in the fields of nineteenth- and twentieth-century art as the author and co-author of, and contributor to, more than 60 major exhibition catalogues and other publications. He has lectured at museums throughout the world and taught at Harvard University, the Institute for Fine Arts at New York University and Hunter College. His many awards and citations include several honors for best catalogues and exhibitions from a number of professional organizations. He was made Chevalier of the French Legion of Honor in 2000, and Officer of the French Order of Arts and Letters in 2003. Tinterow was the founding president of the Association of Art Museum Curators and continues to serve as a trustee of the 1,100-member organization. He is a trustee of the Thomas Moran Trust and the chairman of the Marbletown, New York, Historic Preservation Commission.

A native of Houston, Tinterow is a 1976 magna cum laude graduate of Brandeis University. He received his graduate degree from Harvard University's Department of Fine Arts, where he studied from 1976 to 1983, and a diploma from the Center for Curatorial Leadership of the Columbia University Business School in 2008. He spent the early years of his career as a curatorial assistant at the Israel Museum in Jerusalem, the Rose Art Museum at Brandeis, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston – working in 1975 with then-director William C. Agee and in 1976 with then-curator of modern art Linda Henderson – the Fogg Art Museum at Harvard and the Tate Gallery, London. He joined the staff of the Metropolitan Museum in 1983.

Laurie Winters is the Executive Director/CEO of the Museum of Wisconsin Art. Previously, she served served fifteen years at the Milwaukee Art Museum, most recently as Director of Exhibitions and Publications. 

During her tenure at the Milwaukee Art Museum, Winters successfully developed a nationally and internationally acclaimed exhibition program that helped more than double the museum’s attendance. Her own curatorial record includes Leonardo da Vinci and the Splendor of Poland (2002), named one of the top five exhibitions of the year by Apollo magazine, and the Summer of China (2011), which brought Chinese art to Milwaukee for the first time. These two exhibitions broke all previous records, claiming the top two spots for highest attendance in the museum’s history. Beginning in 2003, Winters established a collaboration with the Albertina in Vienna, which led to the 2005 exhibition Rembrandt and His Time: Masterworks from the Albertina, the 2006 exhibition Beidermeier: The Invention of Simplicity, and the 2011 exhibition Impressionism: Masterworks on Paper.

Beidermeier received rave reviews in Art in America, The New Republic, and The New York Times, which named the exhibition catalogue decorative arts book of the year. From Milwaukee, the exhibition traveled to the Albertina, the German Historical Museum in Berlin, and the Louvre in Paris, and is today recognized as a model of international collaboration.

Most recently, Winters founded The Art Consortium, an international think tank of museum and art world leaders devoted to solving problems facing art museums. As President of the Consortium, Winters convened the first annual meeting of the organization in Vienna from October 22 to 24, 2012. At the Vienna meeting, museum directors and other leaders from the U.S. and Europe engaged with thinkers such as technologist Jaron Lanier, psychologist Susan Weinschenk, economists Georg Franck-Oberaspach and Arjo Klamer, and art critic Jason Kaufman.

Winters holds an MBA from Alverno College (2012), an MA in art history from the University of Michigan (1988), and a BA with honors in art history and French from the University of Toledo (1981). She lived in Paris in 1989 and 1990 as a Fulbright Fellow and was selected for the inaugural class of the Center for Curatorial Leadership (CCL) in 2008 and for the Getty Leadership Institute’s museum leadership program in 2009. She was awarded the Cavalier’s Cross of the Order of Merit by the Polish Republic in 2003 for her work on the exhibition Leonardo da Vinci and the Splendor of Poland.
