Biographical Note

On May 1, 1970, John Brantley Hightower (1933-) succeeded Bates Lowry as Director of The Museum of Modern Art. He resigned on January 5, 1972, at which time Richard E. Oldenburg, the current Director of the Museum, was named Acting Director. During Hightower's tenure, new programs, such as the Projects series, were begun, the Museum's first strike occurred, and the union, called the Professional and Administrative Staff Association (PASTA), was formed.

Hightower received a B.A. from Yale University (1955) and received a Doctor of Fine Arts at California College of Arts and Crafts. Hightower had been Director of the New York State Council on the Arts (1964-1970) before accepting the director position at the Museum.

After he left the Museum he became President of the Associated Councils of the Arts [American Council for the Arts] (New York, NY) from 1972 to 1974, visual critic in arts administration at the Yale Graduate School of Drama (New Haven, CT) from 1972 to 1977, and founder and chairman of Advocates for the Arts (Los Angeles, CA) from 1974 to 1977.

Scope and Content Note

The processed John Hightower Papers (1968-1972) include 1.75 linear feet of correspondence, memos, reports, drafts, outlines, pamphlets, and clippings assembled by Hightower's office during his tenure as Director. They occupy 8 5" document boxes and 1 2.5" document box. The documentation had been previously stored in 4 non-archival "bankers" boxes, the labels from which may be found in first filing unit.

As Director, Hightower's activities touched upon every facet of the Museum and his Papers document Museum events and policies of the period. The Papers include files on fundraising, advertising, benefits, and various departmental activities. They also include reports and notes from different committees, such as a report from the Byers committee which studied afro-american, hispanic and other ethnic art (1971) and files on protests against the Museum by various groups, such as the Art Workers Coalition. Correspondence on Museum exhibitions, such as Barnett Newman (1971), Information (1970), and Tent by Otto Frei, as well as the newly established Projects series (1970-71) are included. There is also a significant amount of correspondence from organizations as well as individuals, notably Roland Penrose, Ellsworth Kelly, Richard E. Oldenburg, Russell Lynes, David Rockefeller, Mr. and Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, Jr., Howardena Pindell, and Faith Ringgold.
