New Getty Trust President And C.E.O. James Wood

Former Art Institute of Chicago president James N. Wood took over as the new President and C.E.O. of the J. Paul Getty Trust last month. He replaces former Getty C.E.O. Barry Munitz, who resigned last year amidst a state investigation into his spending and a scandal over allegedly looted antiquities in the Getty's possession. James Wood has a background in art history, and has pledged to refocus the Getty on its "core mission and commitment to the visual arts." Larry Mantle talks with the new President about his first six weeks on the job.
