Sheena Wagstaff (born 1956/1957) is a British art historian and curator who oversaw the opening of the Met Breuer in her role as head of the Met's modern and contemporary department.[3][2] She integrated the museum's contemporary holdings throughout the museum rather than limiting them to dedicated galleries.[4] She is currently creative advisor to Frieze Masters.[5]
Wagstaff was born in England but grew up in Germany, Scotland and the Mediterranean.[6] Prior to her time at the Met, Wagstaff was chief curator at the Tate Modern and oversaw a series of major installations in that museum's Turbine Hall.[4][2]
