"I am absolutely delighted to be joining the Barbican as its Director of Arts and Learning after eleven very happy years as the BBC’s Arts Editor."
Thus Will Gompertz, 55 (left Bedford School before A-levels to be a stagehand at Sadlers Wells, now a Noel Gay artiste) on his next career move. The Barbican is run by former BBC Radio 3 Controller Nick Kenyon, who is now 70.
On the learning front, Will has a way to go on punctuation.
This is the painting that got me into art. Willem de Kooning’s ‘Rosy Fingered Dawn at Louse Point’ (1963). I loved it when I first saw it @Stedelijk all those years ago and I still love it today. A perfect picture for early spring. pic.twitter.com/Jus3stSUDE
