Heidi Zuckerman is a globally recognized leader in contemporary art and the first woman to build two art museums.
As CEO and Director of OCMA/The Orange County Museum of Art, she is envisioning a twenty-first-century museum. Zuckerman built a new, ground-up project with Pritzker Architecture Prize winner Thom Mayne on time and on budget, raised more than $35 million in her first 20 months in the role, and welcomed more visitors to the museum in the first week of operations than previous annual attendance.
Zuckerman is also the former fourteen-year CEO and Director of the Aspen Art Museum, which she reimagined as a world-class institution, raised more than $130 million, and built a new, highly acclaimed museum with Shigeru Ban, the 2014 Pritzker Architecture Prize winner. From 1999–2005, she was Chair of the Curatorial Department at Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive. Previously, she was a curator at the Jewish Museum in New York.
Zuckerman has curated more than two hundred exhibitions during her extensive career, including early, important, and often first museum shows of artists who have now come to define our time. She also hosts the podcast "About Art," which has over 100 episodes, and is the author of numerous books, including the "Conversations with Artists" book series.
Zuckerman additionally served as Chair of the YPO Art Network. She earned a BA in European History from the University of Pennsylvania, an MA in Art History from Hunter College at CUNY, and a Harvard Business School Executive Education Women on Boards Certification.
