Glenn D. Lowry has been the director of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) since 1995. He initiated MoMA’s merger with PS1 Contemporary Art Center in 1999, presided over the museum's 2004 renovation—designed by the Japanese architect Yoshio Taniguchi—and is currently overseeing the ambitious expansion and redevelopment that is set for completion in 2018. Capon is credited for strengthening MoMA’s contemporary art program and challenging conventional thinking about modern art.
