The Wallace Collection will soon start looking for a new director, for Christoph Vogtherr is leaving to run the Kunsthalle in Hamburg. Vogtherr joined the Wallace in 2011. Last year he launched a rather ill-advised attack on the government, warning of dire budget cuts ahead (which did not materialise), accusing ministers of “systematically reducing funding and commitments to the arts” in the UK. He also signalled his admiration for the 'European system' where museums rely more on state funding (and by extension, control). AHN wishes him good luck in Hamburg.
