High Line Curator Lauren Ross Leaves for Level Ground at the Philbrook Museum in Tulsa

With the second section of the High Line officially opening today (trendy bar and all), there’s a touch of bittersweet-ness sure to be affecting the Friends of the High Line organization. This week, the group announced the departure of its in-house curator, Lauren Ross, who will be leaving for greener pastures on far less elevated ground, as she takes over as the curator of modern and contemporary art at the Philbrook Museum in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
