Met Vets Grab Buyouts
ArtInfo
The art world has gotten slammed by the recession and the Metropolitan Museum of Art is not immune.
Ninety-six members of the Met’s staff accepted an offer of voluntary retirement, part of a wider staff reduction that also will cut employees by layoff and attrition and bring the payroll down by 357 positions, to 2,200. The museum’s Met Matters biweekly newsletter, which is sent to staff, names those who took buyouts. Many had served the museum for decades, and all had been there for at least 15 years and were older than 55.
The list includes Christine Lilyquist, curator in Egyptology, 38 years and Susan Allen, associate research curator, Egyptian art, 16 years.
