Thank you for sharing this, Emily. Tom was the first art librarian I ever met, as an undergraduate at NYU. My museum studies class met with him and I remember being in awe...I didn't figure out that I, too, could be a librarian for another few years, but I've always remembered him as the consummate art information professional.

All my best,
Annie Sollinger

Thank you for posting this sad news. 

Tom was a lovely person and a stellar librarian. He was wonderful colleague and truly enjoyed what he did. This is a real loss for the university and librarianship, as Mr. Stoller so beautifully states.

Dear Colleagues,

I received the sad news today that Tom McNulty, Art Librarian at NYU's Bobst Library and faculty at Sotheby's Institute of Art, has passed away.

From Michael Stoller, Associate Dean of Collections & Research Services at NYU:
It is with a very heavy heart that I write to let you all know that our dear friend and colleague, Tom McNulty, has passed away in his sleep. Tom was beloved by all who knew and worked with him, and he leaves a great empty space in all our lives. If there is any comfort, it lies in knowing that Tom deeply loved his work at NYU and all the colleagues and friends whom he so treasured and whose lives he so enriched. 


Sincerely,
--
