About Alexandra Magnuson

Alexandra Magnuson is a multi-faceted creative producer and artist advisor distinguished by her extensive experience working with artist studios, galleries, and new business ventures to realize complex art works and installations. She is currently the executive director of Powder Art Foundation in Eden, Utah. She has worked closely with numerous prominent artists, studios, and foundations, including Michael Hezier, Chris Burden, Mary Weatherford, Nancy Rubins, Frank Gehry, and Glenn Kaino. As a long-time artist liaison and salesperson at Gagosian, Alex developed a comprehensive understanding of the stewardship of primary and secondary art markets. Specializing in large-scale sculpture and installations, Alex has played a key role in the development and ongoing strategy around some of the most well known and staggeringly complex public artworks ever executed. She has extensive experience in virtually every function of a blue-chip gallery, including managing artist and business needs from end-to-end, contributing to and editing publications, pioneering new studio and archival systems, negotiating and creating media strategies, and developing new clients. After Gagosian, she was the director of sales and artist management at Superblue, where she pioneered new ways of producing and monetizing large-scale artist projects.
