Art Gallery of Ontario’s CEO Stephan Jost to depart at the end of this year
The Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) has announced that its CEO, Stephan Jost, will be departing at the end of the current year. The AGO credits Jost for his decade-long tenure, highlighting his role in securing significant art collections, including a recent donation of 450 works from Carol and Morton Rapp. Additionally, Jost led a project to expand the gallery space by 40,000 square feet, set to open next year.
The AGO faced controversy recently when it decided not to acquire work by Jewish-American photographer Nan Goldin, who had previously criticized Israel's military campaign in Gaza. The gallery has since announced it will begin a global search for Jost's replacement.
