Karin Hindsbo has been appointed to lead London’s Tate Modern art gallery as its new director.
Currently serving as director of the National Museum in Oslo, Norway, Hindsbo will take up the role in September 2023 and replaces Frances Morris, who has held the role since 2016.
She will bring more than 10 years experience to the post, having held several high-profile positions at major institutions in Norway and Denmark, such as Kode in Bergen, Sørlandets Kuntsmuseum in Kristiansand and De Frie Center for Contemporary Art in Copenhagen.
As director of Tate Modern, she will be responsible for maintaining visitor numbers in the wake of the pandemic and developing relationships with artists.
“Tate Modern has always been a special place for me,” said Hinsbo, “I have had some of my greatest experiences encountering art there. I am eager to continue the magnificent work being done, creating a unique and inspiring museum for a wide and diverse audience.”
Commenting on Hinsbo’s appointment, Maria Balshaw, director of Tate, said: “Working alongside the outstanding team at Tate Modern, I know Karin will bring vision, creativity and a spirit of artistic ambition that will enable us to continue reaching new heights in the years to come.
“Her nuanced and diverse approach to expressing national and transnational artistic ecologies chimes with Tate Modern’s ethos brilliantly.”
