The Morgan Library and Museum recently announced the creation of a named directorship, made possible by a generous $10 million pledge from Katharine J. Rayner, trustee of the Morgan since 2011. To recognize this extraordinary gift to the endowment, the position of director at the Morgan will now be known as the Katharine J. Rayner Director for a period of 25 years. Dr. Colin B. Bailey, director since 2015, is the first to hold this title. This pledge has been made on the occasion of the Morgans 100th anniversary in 2024 and toward its Centennial Campaign, which seeks to raise $50 million in critical funds to strengthen the future of the institutions collections and campus. The Morgan also announced a $5 million pledge to the campaign from the Jerome L. Greene Foundation. This gift establishes an endowed fund to support the Morgans acclaimed exhibition program. It builds on a number of previous exhibition sponsorships by the JL Greene Foundation, including Treasures From the National Museum of Sweden: The Collections of Count Tessin (2017), Henry James and American Painting (2017), John Singer Sargent: Portraits in Charcoal (2019), and Georg Baselitz: Six Decades of Drawings (2022). The organization is a museum and research library in the Murray Hill neighborhood of Manhattan, located at 225 Madison Ave. in New York City. For infomation on visiting, go to www.themorgan.org.
