22 Jul
Summary
- Jessica Morgan will lead Tate, a group of renowned art museums.
- Tate faces financial difficulties and lower visitor numbers.
- Staff morale is reportedly low due to employee cutbacks.
Jessica Morgan, previously the director of the Dia Art Foundation, has been appointed the new leader of the Tate, a prominent group of art museums. Her transition to this role occurs at a critical juncture for the organization.
Tate, encompassing institutions such as Tate Modern and Tate Britain in London, is navigating considerable financial headwinds. Visitor attendance at its primary London locations has not yet recovered to pre-pandemic figures, despite hosting popular exhibitions. This financial strain has coincided with a reported decline in staff morale, attributed to substantial employee layoffs.
Despite these challenges, some prominent British artists have expressed optimism regarding Morgan's leadership. They cite her ambition and daring as attributes that will benefit the museum group in her new capacity.
