Vincente Todoli is the new director of the Tate Modern. He’s a “Catalan by birth and the latest in a growing line of international curators heading Britain’s museums. Aged 45, fast talking, fast moving, fast thinking, he shoots from the heart and smiles winningly. Stamina seeps from every pore. His strong accent, a year in New York as a Fulbright scholar notwithstanding, introduces an element of enigma to what he is saying (we spend several moments disentangling the sibilants of ‘thresholds’).”
