Biography
Barry Winiker started his career at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City in the 1970s helping to mount exhibits with some of the world’s most celebrated contemporary artists. Today, as Pfizer’s Global Curator, Winiker brings that same passion to his role, organizing art shows throughout the year in the New York headquarters, as well as educating employees and the community about the intersections between art, science and innovation. To Winiker, creating and appreciating art draws upon similar core values as being a scientist. “You need to be creative, innovative and thinking ‘what’s the next thing,’ and to be open to new ideas,” he says. “We find even that people who look at art can make better doctors, because they know how to look carefully at problems,” he adds.
