NEW YORK.-Lisa Phillips, Henry Luce III Director of the New Museum of Contemporary Art, announced today the appointment of Laura Hoptman to the position of Curator. This announcement follows the recent arrival of Richard Flood as Chief Curator at the New Museum.

Prior to the Carnegie, she served as Assistant Curator, Drawings, at the Museum of Modern Art (1995-2001), where she organized "Drawing Now: Eight Propositions", an international survey of contemporary drawings, in addition to several well received "Projects" exhibitions. She also served as co-curator for "Love Forever: Yayoi Kusama" and was one of a team of six curators who organized the first "Greater New York" exhibition at P.S.1. in 2000.
