The Portland Art Museum has hired one-time Seattleite Sara Krajewski as its new curator of modern and contemporary art, museum leaders announced this week. She replaces longtime curator Bruce Guenther, who retired in October 2014 after 14 years at the museum.

Krajewski comes to Portland after serving for three years as the director of the INOVA (Institute of Visual Arts) galleries at University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

The Portland Art Museum announced this morning that Bruce Guenther, the chief curator and Robert and Mercedes Eichholz Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art, will retire on October 20.

Since joining in 2000, Guenther has been a driving force in the art museum's artistic mission, growth, exhibition curation, and role in the regional (and sometimes international) art scene.
