"National Gallery Council Appointment"
1999-09-27 until 0000-00-00
Department of Communications, Information Technology and the Arts, Australia
Sydney, , AU Australia

An experienced investment and financial manager has been appointed to the Council of the National Gallery of Australia. Mr Robert Ferguson is Chairman of BT Funds Management and he has a strong economic and business background. Mr Ferguson will bring valuable managerial skills and knowledge to the Gallery Council,' Federal Minister for the Arts, Peter McGauran, said.

Mr Ferguson has held extensive positions in the corporate sector including:

Director of the Australian Davos Connection;

Director, Australian Rural Leadership Program;

Director, Westfield Holdings Ltd and six other Westfield companies;

Director, and is currently Deputy Chairman, of The Sydney Institute;

Director of the St James Ethics Centre; and

special consultant to the Law Reform Commission's Review of Collective Investments.

I am sure Mr Fergusons business expertise and corporate knowledge and networks, together with his personal interest in art, will be of great value to the Gallery, Mr McGauran said.

The National Gallery has built a formidable reputation. It is now at a point where, after reviewing and adding to its collection, it is looking to the future.

It recently introduced a new temporary exhibition gallery and has placed its collection online.

Council will have a strong role to play over the next few years, as the Gallery organises a significant loan of Aboriginal art for display in Europe, along with exhibitions to coincide with the Olympics and the Centenary of Federation, Mr McGauran said.
