Eva Respini

Today’s contemporary art curators are charged with advocating the work of lesser-known international artists as much as celebrating that of homegrown stars. Eva Respini has worked closely with Middle Eastern artists, a strength much heralded when she was appointed chief curator at the Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA), Boston in 2014, as it promises to refresh the global perspective of the museum. Respini previously held the post of curator in the department of photography at MoMA, where she was responsible for a highly acclaimed Cindy Sherman retrospective in 2012, and oversaw many significant additions to the collection.
