About the Speaker
Trained as an art historian in London, Godfrey Worsdale’s career began in the early 1990s at the British Museum, where he worked in the Department of Prints and Drawings. He joined Southampton City Art Gallery as a curator in 1995 and became its Director three years later.
In 2007 he moved to the North East to establish Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art. This was followed by seven years as Director of BALTIC in Gateshead.
Worsdale has served as a judge and juror for the 2011 Turner Prize and the 54th and 57th Venice Biennales. In 2015 he became the Director of the Henry Moore Foundation and now divides his time between Perry Green in Hertfordshire where Moore lived and worked, and the Henry Moore Institute in the county in which he, like Henry Moore, grew up. In 2016 Worsdale was awarded an OBE for services to the visual arts.
