Wait, what? Lowry was expected to retire after the new extension opened next year. And: “The extension comes as a surprise, since MoMA had long had a policy that ‘chief curators and other senior managers’ should retire at 65. In a 2014 interview with The New York Times, Mr. Lowry said he planned to respect the rule. ‘We have a policy of senior staff at this institution retiring at or around 65, and I don’t intend to break that policy,’ he said. ‘I’ll do my best between now and then.'”
