General info :
Edith Devaney (born in April 1963 in Ireland) is an art curator and managing director.

In 2020 she was appointed by David Hockney as his new managing director after serving 22 years at the Royal Academy of Arts in London (RA).

Devaney has overseen some of the RA’s most profitable and successful exhibitions, including Hockney shows such as 82 Portraits and one still-life in 2016 and Hockney: A Bigger Picture in 2012. She also presented David Hockney: The Arrival of Spring, Normandy—comprising 116 works made at his home in northern France.

She is a director of the David Hockney Foundation, which was founded by the artist in 2008.

Devaney also organised an important exhibition of works by Jasper Johns at the RA in 2017 which included more than 150 paintings, sculptures, drawings and prints by the influential US artist. Meanwhile, her survey on Abstract Expressionism in 2016 included an avalanche of works by the principal trailblazers of the post-war movement. “Devaney also transformed the Summer Exhibition into a much more successful and profitable exhibition concept,” says the statement. In 2018, she invited Grayson Perry to co-ordinate the 251-year-old show.

She resides in London, UK.
