Curator of Antiquities Karol Wight Leaves Getty for The Corning Museum of Glass

It’s proving difficult to keep a curator of antiquities at the Getty for more than a few years it seems. The post was previously held by Marion True until 2007 when she ran afoul with the governments of both Italy and Greece for allegedly purchasing stolen pieces (you’ll recall that her legal issues finally ended late last year, after which she was finally able to tell her side of the story). Her replacement, long-time Getty employee Karol Wight, has now announced her departure, though for decidedly less international-prosecution reasons.
