Rijksmuseum Director Joins Judges' Panel of Art Fund Museum Prize
THE GUARDIAN
By Maev Kennedy
The director of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Wim Pijbes, is being invited to join the judges of the Art Fund museum prize, giving the judging panel for the £100,000 prize – the biggest of its kind in the world – an international dimension for the first time. His fellow judges will be the artist Michael Craig-Martin, Sally Bacon of the Clore Duffield foundation, and Anna Somers Cocks, chief executive of the Art Newspaper – who said she believed UK museums had "greater creativity, greater sensitivity to the needs of the public, and greater pleasure in the story that objects can tell". The 2014 shortlist will be announced in April. [link]
