Sarah Wilson is an art
historian, curator and writer. Her global art interests are informed by
specialism in postwar and Cold War Europe and the USSR. In 2015, she
was co-curator and curator for the academic forum of the 1st Asian
Biennale / 5th Guangzhou Triennale, Guanzhou, China.
She was educated at the University of Oxford (English Literature) and
at the Courtauld where she took her MA and Ph.D degrees. In 1997 she
was awarded the title Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres for services to
French art and culture. In 2015 she was the recipient of International
Association of Art Critics’ Award for Distinguished Contribution to Art
Criticism
>
see award. She was Head of the Modern and Contemporary Department at
the Courtauld from 2005-Spring 2008 and Head of Graduate Diploma
programmes, 2014-2015.
Former
students are a source of particular pride. They now have prominent
positions in academia, museums and galleries all over the world: in
Britain, Tate, the National Portrait Gallery, Scottish National Gallery
of Modern Art, British Council, London galleries such as the Hauser and
Wirth, Timothy Taylor and White Cube; beyond Britain, the Virgina
Museum of Art, Richmond; the Phoenix Museum of Art, Arizona; in Europe:
the French Ministry of Culture, the Kunsthalle, Bremen; at the
Universities of SUNY, Albany , NY; London, Cambridge, Bristol,
Amsterdam and Grenoble. Sarah Wilson is actively involved with
Courtauld alumni and in 2014 collaborated with PhD students,
co-curating ‘Paper Museums, Moscow Conceptualism in transit’,
(University of Southampton). CUT then ADD: She continutes to celebrate
alumni’s curatorial and writing achievements in London, Paris, Moscow
or at the Venice Biennale — and aims to revive active alumni groupings
in Paris, Rome, Moscow or Athens.
Academic

Sarah
Wilson’s global interests have expanded with her curatorial experiences
and the ‘Asia Time’ theme of the 1st Asian Biennale / Fifth Guangzhou
Triennale, 2015, invoking a richer East-West dialogue. In 2016 she
lectured in Shanghai, Dunhuang and Suzhou, China, as well as New York,
Europe and the UK. In 2015 she gave talks in St Petersburg Florida,
Paris, Ekaterinburg, Leeds, Paris, Guangzhou, Geneva and London venues,
and organised the international conference ‘Jean-François Lyotard,
towards the virtual’ at the Courtauld for the 30th anniversary of the
Centre Pompidou exhibition. From 2012-2013 she held a chaire
d’excellence at the University of Versailles Saint-Quentin, with a
project ‘Globalisation before globalisation: avant-gardes, academies,
revolutions’ and organised the ‘Network Beaux-Arts, going global’
conference held in Paris and London: a continuing project. In 2010-11,
with Mellon Professor Boris Groys (New York University) Sarah Wilson
initiated the MA course, ‘Global Conceptualism’, which links
Anglo-american conceptual art and European lineages stemming from
Mallarmé, Duchamp and structural linguistics, with conceptual art
practices originating in Moscow or taken up beyond the ‘first’, world.
She was appointed to the International Advisory Boards the European
University of Saint Petersburg (Department of Art History). She
continues to take an active role in CCRAC, the Cambridge-Courtauld
Russian Art Centre and works actively with Calvert 22 which reaches out
to Russia and Eastern Europe, and with Pushkin House in London.

Sarah
Wilson also lectures and teaches in Paris. She partipates in PhD juries
and supervised for the École du Louvre. In 2006-7 she introduced an art
history strand for the final year at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des
Beaux-Arts. Invited Professor at Paris-IV Sorbonne for the academic
years 2002-4, she shared responsibilities with Serge Lemoine (former
director of the Musée d’Orsay), and produced a report commissioned by
the French Minister for Research on the Institut National d’Histoire de
l’Art.
At the Courtauld, the doctoral and MA theses Sarah
Wilson has supervised over the years now constitute a unique
English-language archive in the field of post-1945 European and
Soviet/Russian art history, many leading to important publications.
Previous MA courses include ‘Towards contemporary art, Postmodernism
and Postcommunism in Europe and beyond’, (2005-9) and ‘Intellectual
Revolution, Art and theory in France after 1958.’, She initiated the
study of performance art. Current BA courses include Beyond Black,
Contemporary Art in Britain Now’. She has been responsible for
introducing works by several contemporary artists to the Courtauld’s
East Wing Collection, (orginated by the late Joshua Compston) and is
involved in its year-long video, film and talks programmes. Her
commitment to women artists has meant that Zofia Kulik and Alina
Szapocznikow, for example, were exhibited at the Courtauld prior to
their international prominence. She believes strongly in working with
living artists and their archives.
Sarah Wilson has supervised 30 doctoral theses and well over 150 MA dissertations.
