According to the Los Angeles Times, "It was on his watch here that MOCA became known as the best museum of postwar art in the country, if not the world, and a place where sweeping, historic theme shows were almost routine."[11] He was ousted after financial problems were investigated by the California Attorney General including using restricted endowment funds for general operating expenses beginning in 2001 without obtaining consent from the donors or a court order.[12] Strick was the Director of the Nasher Sculpture Center from March 2009 to 2024.[13]
