Christy MacLear, who left her post as CEO of the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation in late 2016 to join the Sotheby’s advisory Art Agency, Partners, is no longer serving in her role there, ARTnews has learned. She had left the Rauschenberg Foundation, where she began as the inaugural chief executive in 2010, to join Art Agency, Partners, as vice chairman, with a specialty in artist estates and foundations.
