The curator of Pittsburgh’s Andy Warhol Museum has resigned less than five months after being named to the position.

Museum officials say Dublin native Bartholomew Ryan resigned Friday as the Milton Fine Curator of Art. He began the job May 18.

Ryan’s arrival at the Warhol Museum was heralded, with the museum’s director calling him “one of the most dynamic young curators in America.”

Bartholomew Ryan, an Irish-born curator at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, will be the new Milton Fine Curator of Art at The Andy Warhol Museum.

Mr. Ryan, 38, a native of Dublin, begins his duties here on May 18. He replaces Nicholas Chambers, who left in November to return to his native Australia.

Mr. Ryan earned a bachelor’s degree in drama and theater studies from Trinity College in Dublin. In 2002, he moved to New York City, where he waited tables while working as an actor, he said in a telephone interview.
