'Bendor the Just'
January 26 2015
Now, I've been summoned for jury service here in Edinburgh, so no blogging today alas - and if I get a three year fraud case, not for a wee while, either.
In the meantime, feast your eyes on a piece I wrote for the weekend Financial Times on museum leadership in light of the new National Gallery appointment. Still not many women directors, and no Americans either...
Update - my name was not drawn in the ballot, and, luckily (as it was slated to be a two week case), I was allowed to go.
Update II - a reader writes:
Are you sure you haven't been caught with a Van Dyck or two under the bed!
Never a good place to keep pictures, under the bed.
