Olga Viso ’87 named director of Walker Art Center
Olga Viso has added yet another dimension to her colorful career in the art world. Viso, who has gained international recognition as director of the Smithsonian Institution’s Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, has been named director of the prestigious Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, effective January 2008. “It is an immense privilege to lead such an innovative and distinguished institution as the Walker,” Viso said. Viso rose to prominence as a curator, scholar, and administrator at the Smithsonian before joining the Hirshhorn in 1995. She served as assistant curator, associate curator, curator of contemporary art, and deputy director at the Hirshhorn before being named the museum’s fourth director, in September 2005. Said Steve Shank, president of the Walker’s board of directors, “In Olga, we’ve found a proven leader in the field, a respected scholar of contemporary art, and someone with a true passion for global artists.”
