This month, New York’s Museum of Modern Art will have a new Chief Curator of Photography: Quentin Bajac, who recently held the same position at the Centre Pompidou in Paris.

Some of his notable curations include a retrospective of William Klein’s work; “Dreamlands,” which explored how World’s Fairs and theme parks have influenced architecture and design; and “The Subversion of Images: Surrealism, Photography, Film.”

Bajac, who is replacing longtime curator Peter Galassi, is also the chair in the history of photography at the Ecole du Louvre, and a graduate of the Institut d’études politiques and the Institut national du Patrimoine.
