Perhaps taking to heart David Byrne and Patti Smith’s recent disavowals of the Big Apple for pushing out young talent through high cost of living, Rob Weingart returns to his hometown of Amarillo after a stint in New York to serve as collections manager and head preparator of the Amarillo Museum of Art, Managing Director of AMoA Kim Mahan has announced. Previously, Weingart worked as a property manager at the esteemed auction house Phillips de Pury, as well as holding posts at the Museum of Modern Art, and the Brooklyn Museum, and a number of commercial art galleries.
Weingart received his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of North Texas and his Master of Fine Arts degree from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
