Art Gallery of Ontario curator resigned after failed acquisition of Nan Goldin work

Although the AGO had planned to jointly purchase Goldin's moving-image work Stendhal Syndrome (2024) with the Vancouver Art Gallery (VAG) and Minneapolis's Walker Art Center, it pulled out in mid 2025 after its modern and contemporary curatorial working committee voted 11-to-9 against it. The move was unexpected, especially as the AGO already had three Goldin works in its collection. (The VAG and Walker Art Center proceeded with the joint acquisition.)
