Getting to Know 'Tapestry Tom' Campbell

It’s been almost a year since we breathlessly relayed the news of Thomas “Tapestry Tom” Campbell‘s selection to succeed Philippe de Montebello as director of New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art. The former curator of European sculpture and decorative arts has now been at the top job since January, when he greeted the world via YouTube. So how’s it going? Rebecca Mead assesses the situation in “Renaissance Man,” a profile of Campbell that appears (alongside a terrific photo by Jason Schmidt) in the July 27 issue of The New Yorker.
