LACMA’s Future II

The tone and substance of your article on Michael Shapiro (“After 6 Months, Shapiro Assesses LACMA’s Future,” April 12) dealt most unfairly with the new, dynamic leader at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.

As an executive faced with deep and unfortunate cutbacks in funding, he is managing to give the museum valuable leadership in a difficult time. I am sure that when a reasonable amount of time has passed the judgment on Shapiro and his leadership will be one of warmth and admiration.
