David Ekserdjian

Formerly a Fellow of Balliol and Corpus Christi, Oxford, since 2004 I have taught at the University of Leicester, but I spent the years 1991 to 1997 working for Christie's and was Editor of Apollo magazine from 1997 to 2004. Among my most recent books are The Italian Renaissance Altarpiece: Between Icon and Narrative (2021) and Albrecht Dürer: Art and Autobiography (2023). I have also organised or co-organised numerous exhibitions and written their catalogues, including Bronze (2012) at the Royal Academy and - with Tom Henry - Raphael (2022) at the National Gallery, and served as a Trustee of the National Gallery, Tate, and Sir John Soane's Museum. In 2017-18, I was the Slade Professor of Fine Art at the University of Oxford.
