Training initially as a painter, Greenhalgh entered into academia through the Courtauld Institute of Art, later teaching at the Royal College of Art, and holding the post of deputy keeper of ceramics and glass at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. [1]In November 2010, Greenhalgh was appointed director of the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts, the public gallery of the University of East Anglia, where he held the position of professor of art history and museum strategy, roles which he resigned from in 2021 to become, respectively, executive director, and professor emeritus of the same.[2] In 2022, Greenhalgh was announced as the inaugural director of the Zaha Hadid Foundation.[3] Greenhalgh is a specialist in the decorative arts and artistic movements from 1850 to 1940.


Background edit

Greenhalgh was born in Bolton, Lancashire, England, where he attended Smithills Grammar School. Initially studying as a painter, he obtained bachelor's degrees in fine art, and later in art history, from the University of Reading, and the Courtauld Institute in London.[citation needed]

In 1980, Greenhalgh became a lecturer at Cardiff College of Art and Design, teaching there until a move to the Royal College of Art, where he tutored until 1992; between 1989 and 2000 Greenhalgh was deputy keeper of ceramics and glass, as well as head of research, at the Victoria and Albert Museum, later leaving the V&A museum to become president of the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in Canada. Following a six-year term, Greenhalgh became president and director of the Corcoran Gallery of Art and College of Art and Design, Washington D.C. (2006-2010).[1] He then returned to England to take up the post of director of the Sainsbury Centre.[1]

Exhibitions edit

Greenhalgh has organised major temporary exhibitions, managing exhibition programmes and displaying permanent collections. As Head of Research at the Victoria & Albert Museum he had a leadership and academic role in both the V&A exhibition programme and various major collection displays. In 2000, he curated 'Art Nouveau 1890–1914', which travelled to the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC, and the Metropolitan Museum in Tokyo. At the Corcoran Gallery, he created a large-scale exhibitions programme. These included Eadweard Muybridge; Richard Avedon’s 'Political Portraits'; The American Evolution: Art and Society 1790 to the Present; The French Landscape: Realism to Modernism, 1840–1914; Re-Defined: Modern and Contemporary Works from the Permanent Collection. In 2011, the Corcoran simultaneously had two major exhibitions in London: John Singer Sargent and the Sea at the Royal Academy of Arts, and Edward Muybridge at Tate Britain. The Sainsbury Centre has a major exhibition programme.
