The J. Paul Getty Trust has appointed Glenn D. Lowry, former director of New York's Museum of Modern Art, and Lionel M. Sauvage, a French philanthropist and collector, to its board of trustees, effective in 2026. Lowry led MoMA for 30 years, overseeing major expansions and the integration of PS1, while Sauvage holds leadership roles at Les Arts Décoratifs and other cultural institutions.
These appointments bring two highly experienced figures to the Getty Trust, which is the wealthiest art trust in the world with an $8.59 billion endowment. Lowry's deep museum leadership and Sauvage's expertise in French decorative arts and philanthropy are expected to help the Getty transform its visitor experience and expand its global reach.
