AGO trustee, major donor Judy Schulich led internal push to prevent Nan Goldin acquisition Some gallery committee members alleged Jewish-American artist’s views on Israel were ‘antisemitic’

@ombudsmanontario.bsky.social Commissioners, can you please address the concerns raised in this article regarding the actions of Art Gallery of Ontario Trustees in collections acquisitions? @agotoronto.bsky.social #ago #agotoronto

Nan Goldin Speaks Out on Art Gallery of Ontario’s Halted Acquisition “It’s chilling that this censorship plays out especially regarding Palestine, the great exception to free speech,” Goldin told Hyperallergic.

AGO trustee Judy Schulich must be removed and barred from philanthropic work in Canada involving legal charitable status and public funds. She can do what she wants with her private (extractivist) capital but she cannot mobilize public funds to personal ideology. #agotoronto @agotoronto.bsky.social

“How many other situations are there like this that aren’t reported on?” [Goldin] asked. “I just worry about all the other sales and shows and everything else that’s being blocked.” Exactly. Further undermining confidence in the AGO collection. #ago #agotoronto

Art Gallery of Ontario curator resigned after failed acquisition of Nan Goldin work Two committee members also resigned after the vote, which unravelled amid allegations of “antisemitism” over Goldin’s support of Palestinians

Enough. This is a red line. The AGO Curatorial Team, Julian Cox, Caroline Shields, Adam Harris Levine, Julie Crooks, Georgiana Uhlyarik, Renée van der Avoird, Adam Welch, Debbie Johnsen, Sophie Hackett, Alexa Greist, and Jim Shedden: your silence is complicity. #agotoronto @agotoronto.bsky.social

Art Gallery of Ontario Nixed Nan Goldin Acquisition Because of Her Comments on Israel’s War in Gaza The Art Gallery of Ontario voted against acquiring a Nan Goldin work because of the artist's 'antisemitic' comments on Israel's war in Gaza.

Suspend all public funding to the AGO @agotoronto.bsky.social #ago #agotoronto #canadacouncil #ontarioartscouncil #torontoartscouncil @marcmillermp.bsky.social @maritstilesndp.bsky.social @sandyshaw.bsky.social @rob4ajax.bsky.social @charliewallandrews.bsky.social
