Scott Rothkopf

As the Whitney Museum moved into its new home in New York’s Meatpacking District earlier this year, the institution also seized the opportunity to promote one of its curatorial stars. Scott Rothkopf first joined the museum’s staff as a curator in 2009, having previously worked as senior editor at Artforum International for five years. Since then, he has organised major exhibitions dedicated to Glenn Ligon and Wade Guyton and, in 2014, the triumphant Jeff Koons retrospective that was the final show to be mounted at the Whitney’s Upper East Side location.
