Modern Art Oxford




Several transitory directors oversaw the gallery until Nicholas Serota assumed the role in 1974 , with Sandy Nairne serving as assistant director. David Elliott replaced Serota in 1976 .

Elliott's programme introduced up-and-coming artists from Africa , Asia and the Soviet Union , and at various times also featured major Video Art exhibitions; his contributions also included numerous gallery renovations. He resigned his position in 1996 for personal reasons, having served the longest term of any director in the history of the gallery.

Elliot's replacement, an American named Kerry Brougher, preferred larger shows of American and European Art . However, Brougher was soon supplanted by Andrew Nairne, whose Curator ship garners the work of Art World darlings such as Tracey Emin . Nairne renamed the gallery, coordinated additional enhancements to the building, and succeeded in bringing a new dynamism to the exhibitions.
