The New Museum‘s curatorial shuffle continues.

Senior curator Laura Hoptman will be leaving her post for a job at MoMA in the painting and sculpture department, according to two sources with knowledge of the move.

This news comes days after the New Museum announced a promotion for curator Massimiliano Gioni who was elevated to oversee and direct the museum’s exhibition program and lead the curatorial department. Richard Flood, who had previously served as the museum’s chief curator was named director of special projects and curator at large. The Oct. 1 press release made no mention of Hoptman.

Hoptman came to the New Museum in 2006 from the Carnegie Museum of Art. She was previously a curator of drawing at MoMA for six years. At the New Museum, Hoptman curated Elizabeth Peyton and co-curated Unmonumental among other shows.
