Description

"I was interested in learning more about the history of my own field and who the curators of previous generations were who offer a toolbox for the 21st century."
As Hans Ulrich Obrist clearly explains, this volume aims to document the legacy of legendary curators and pioneering ideas within the curatorial field, and presents a unique collection of interviews: Anne d'Harnoncourt, Werner Hofmann, Jean Leering, Franz Meyer, Seth Siegelaub, Walter Zanini, Johannes Cladders, Lucy Lippard, Walter Hopps, Pontus Hultén and Harald Szeemann are brought together in this publication.

The contributions trace the development of the curatorial field, from the first independent curators in the 1960s and 1970s, as well as the experimental institutional programs developed in Europe and the United States at that time, through documenta and the development of biennials.

Conceived as "an act of protest against oblivion," this publication has been widely recognized as a reference book for students and professionals alike.
