5. Nicholas Serota.
Serota trained at Cambridge and Courtauld Institute of Art, where he worked on Turner’s visits to Switzerland. It has been a turbulent 12 months since the head of the four Tate galleries took the number one spot on this list. While discontent and protest fitfully surfaced from the activist-left over BP’s corporate sponsorship, in the spring it was Serota’s detractors on the right who made the most noise. The conservative press gleefully stretched for Oscar Wilde clichés when Tate lost not one but two directors in quick succession. Penelope Curtis leaving Tate Britain for Calouste Gulbenkian Museum after a much maligned five-year tenure, and Chris Dercon announcing his decision to jump ship from Tate Modern to direct Berlin’s Volksbühne was not a good look for Serota.
