Résumé
This biography by the art historian Dora Imhof illuminates the manifold activities of the curator, editor, and writer Bice Curiger.

Curiger's trajectory is contextualized within the history of curating, the globalization of the art world, and the institutionalization of contemporary art over the last four decades. Statements by leading artists and fellow curators provide personal insights into Bice Curiger’s thinking and ongoing work.
