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.

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.     > see lectures

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.     > see theses supervised
