Wednesday luncheon with Tony Magnusson, Co-ordinating Curator of Colours of Impressionism and Art Gallery of South Australia Curator of European and North American Art

As curator of European and North American art at the Art Gallery of South Australia, Tony Magnusson looks after the painting and sculpture collections dating from antiquity through to 1980.  Following a twenty-year career in journalism, Tony completed a graduate diploma and an MA in history of art at the Courtauld Institute of Art in London before joining the Gallery in 2016.  Aside from his strong interest in fifteenth-century Italian and Netherlandish art, Tony is currently coordinating curator of the Gallery’s upcoming blockbuster Colours of Impressionism: Masterpieces from the Musée d’Orsay, and he recently assisted AGSA’s curator of contemporary art, Leigh Robb, in mounting the 2017 exhibition Versus Rodin: bodies across space and time.  Tony also edits the Gallery’s quarterly publication, Articulate.
