Ringling College announced her departure in November, when President Larry Thompson said in a statement, “When we were able to secure the talents of this world-class star of the art world five years ago, we knew that there would come a time when Anne-Marie would move on to new opportunities.”
Russell said an announcement of her next job is expected within a couple of weeks, but she will remain as a curatorial consultant for the museum for at least three months as the college conducts a search for her successor. And she has planned out exhibitions and related programs through 2022.
