Obrist-isms Hans Ulrich

A thought-provoking collection of quotations from one of the most influential figures in the contemporary art world

Hans Ulrich Obrist is one of the most celebrated curators working today and has twice been ranked #1 on ArtReview’s annual list of the most important people in the art world. As the primary or lead author of more than forty volumes of interviews with contemporary artists, of numerous exhibition catalogues for museums around the world, and of influential books on curation, he has established himself as a pivotal figure in contemporary art and culture. Drawn from Obrist’s writings, interviews, and other sources, Obrist-isms gathers a wealth of fascinating quotations from across his career, offering insights on everything from his approach to curating and his affinity with philosopher Édouard Glissant to his interest in artists’ unrealized projects.
