RA press release: The Royal Academy of Arts announced today that Christopher Le Brun will step down as President of the Royal Academy of Arts in December 2019 after serving for eight years. Le Brun became President of the Royal Academy in 2011. He is widely acknowledged as having presided over a period of unprecedented success for the Royal Academy in which it has been energised and its reputation enhanced, transforming it into one of the world’s leading arts organisations. He is the 26th President since Sir Joshua Reynolds, the first painter to be elected since 1984, and the youngest to hold the post since Lord Leighton in 1878. Highlights during Le Brun’s Presidency include the 250th Anniversary celebrations in 2018 which were marked by the completion of the RA’s transformative redevelopment linking Burlington House with Burlington Gardens. Le Brun was closely involved with this project from inception to completion and was instrumental in creating the new Collection Gallery, The Benjamin West Lecture Theatre and The Gabrielle Jungels-Winkler Galleries. Le Brun has also built on the strength of the RA’s world class membership, admitting Artist Collaborations such as Gilbert & George to the Academy for the first time. As the RA is an independent charity without government funding, fundraising has been a priority, and throughout his tenure the RA has received some of the largest donations in its history. As a painter, sculptor and printmaker, Le Brun has maintained his studio practice throughout his eight-year Presidency. Following his departure from the RA, he will return to his studio to devote time to his forthcoming solo exhibitions in Shanghai and New York. A new President of the Royal Academy of Arts will be elected by Royal Academicians in December 2019.
