“#MoMA replaces Leon Black, calls him \u2018outstanding\u2019<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

The Museum of Modern Art on Tuesday praised its outgoing billionaire chair Leon Black, who recently resigned amid controversy over his ties to dead pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.<\/p>\n

MoMA Director Glenn Lowry in a Tuesday afternoon email to trustees announced the election of Marie-Jos\u00e9e Kravis \u2014 the wife of Black\u2019s rival, leveraged buyout baron Henry Kravis \u2014 to replace Black.<\/p>\n

In naming Black\u2019s replacement, Lowry praised the museum\u2019s chair since 2018 for having provided \u201coutstanding leadership and dedication to MoMA, as a Trustee of the Museum since 1997, Co-Chairman of the Board from 2015 to 2018, and as Chairman since July 1, 2018.\u201d<\/p>\n

MoMA\u2018s trustees had unanimously chosen Kravis to be the next chair, the email said.<\/p>\n

Kravis will replace Black when his term expires at the end of June.<\/p>\n

Black\u2019s investment firm, Apollo Global Management, in January revealed that Black had paid Epstein $158 million for personal tax, accounting and estate planning work following Epstein\u2019s 2008 guilty plea for soliciting a minor for sex.<\/p>\n

It had not found that Black had engaged in any wrongdoing.<\/p>\n

But the ties led to protests by prominent artists including Ai Weiwei and photographer Nan Goldin, who publicly blasted MoMA for keeping Black as Chair.<\/p>\n

Black in March also stepped down as chair and CEO of Apollo, citing heath reasons.<\/p>\n

As The Post has since reported, Black\u2019s departure from Apollo came days after various board members learned of\u00a0sexual harassment and assault allegations\u00a0by a woman, Guzel Ganieva, whom Black said was extorting him over a \u201cconsensual affair.\u201d <\/p>\n

Black has denied the allegations or that they contributed to his departure from the investment firm he helped found in 1990. <\/p>\n

Marie-Jos\u00e9e is a big philanthropist. She directed Hudson Institute\u2019s Corporate Environment program and is vice-chair of the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In 2015 she and her husband gave $100 million to Rockefeller University to create a research building in her\u00a0name.<\/p>\n

Her husband is not without controversy.<\/p>\n

His private equity firm KKR owns Envision Healthcare, one of the country\u2019s two major surprise billing companies. President Trump publicly criticized the practice of surprise billing calling it a \u201ctremendous problem in this country\u201d amid allegations that it has understaffed emergency rooms and overcharged patients for emergency health services.\u00a0\n <\/p><\/div>\n
