Director of New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art resigns amid pressure
"Daniel Brodsky, the museum’s chairman, issued a separate letter, which said: “We are not looking to appoint a new director immediately but instead will take some time to consider the leadership needs of the museum in a thoughtful and deliberative way.”During Campbell’s stewardship the museum registered record attendance numbers, but last April, Weiss announced that the museum would have to deal with a $40m deficit if it didn’t get its finances under control.
Campbell’s plan to build a $600m wing for modern and contemporary art, never transpired and former curators criticised his leadership publicly."
