Caroline Smulders

Caroline Smulders studied art history at the École du Louvre in Paris and worked for Galerie Magazine, La Tribune de Genève, and Art Press as an art critic. For many years, she was director of the Paris galleries Templon and Thaddaeus Ropac, before she was entrusted with the development of the contemporary art department of Christie's Paris.

Presently, she works as a free curator in the international context; she prepared the Robert Longo retrospective at the MAMAC in Nice and the Centro Culturel de Belém in Lisbon in 2009, for example.

In 2011, Caroline Smulders initiated the new design of the windows of the Rheims Cathedral by the artist Imi Knoebel together with the French Ministry for Cultural Affairs. Other highlights were the major group show "Pearls of North" in the Palais dʼIéna curated by her and the show "Unlimited Bodies" in 2012.
