No Quarter

So ArtHeat's underground sources have been muttering for some time now about the rumored appointment of Antoinette Murdoch as Chief Curator of JAG. Following a brief foray into entry-level research it turns out that the murmurings are true as of 13 March, according to the South African Art Times.
“I’ve not given much thought to the African/traditional balance. I’m passionate about contemporary art, but I’d like to see some of the traditional [European] work again. When I was a child, it was the technique of the traditional artists that simply mesmerised me.”
Hmmmm.
Murdoch, whilst CEO of Art Bank Joburg proved to be pretty savvy at bringing home the buffaloes.
"It has become very clear over the last two years that demand for art bank services far exceeds supply and the growth of the art bank was much quicker than originally anticipated."
As the Art Times article says,
"...she seems unfazed at the challenge of taking on an institution the size of JAG – not least its funding problems. “It’s scary, but I’ve done it all on a smaller scale. I’ll just have to tackle it head on with the passion [that word again!] I devote to everything I do.”"
So it's not hard to speculate that what sealed the deal as far as JAG is concerned is:
We'll have to see how it all turns out. Good luck Ms Murdoch.
