CHICAGO (AP) - Robert Fitzpatrick arrived an hour early to interview for the position of director and chief executive officer of the Museum of Contemporary Art, so he sat on a park bench across the street. He did not like what he saw.
He found the concrete-and-glass building, just two years old at the time, cold and foreboding. "It looked to me like a cryogenics factory, a place where they freeze people and leave them indefinitely," he recalled Thursday.
Yet Fitzpatrick took the job — and used landscaping, banners, and sculptures on the building's plaza to make it more welcoming.
