• Resumen

  • The article pays a tribute to Swiss curator Harald Szeemann, who died on February 18, 2005. In a career that spanned five decades, Szeemann virtually invented the role of the independent curator-ideally a peripatetic scout and intrepid synthesizer of cultural trends-and refashioned both Documenta and the Venice Biennale, opening those established international exhibitions to new media and fresh ideas. Born in Bern Szeemann studied art history, archeology and journalism before making his curatorial debut in Saint Gall with "Painters Poets/Poets Painters," a tribute to Hugo Ball, in 1957.
