"Sally Tallant, the director of the Queens Museum in New York, has been named director of the Hayward Gallery and visual arts at the Southbank Centre in London. She takes over from Ralph Rugoff who will step down in spring after 20 years in the post. "I am very excited as I love the Hayward and Southbank and am looking forward to returning to London," she tells The Art Newspaper. She will take up the role from July."
"Tallant was responsible for an ambitious $65m capital campaign at Queens Museum, adding art storage, a new auditorium and conservation facilities to the building, which is the only remaining structure developed for the first New York World's Fair in 1939-40. She has also overseen the development of the Suna Children's Museum, which is scheduled to open in 2028 at the museum site."
