VADUZ.- At this year’s annual congress in Luxembourg, the International Association of Curators (IKT) elected Friedemann Malsch, director of Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein, as its new president. For the three-year duration of the presidency, Liechtenstein will serve as the official seat of the association. The IKT is the sole international professional association for independent and institutional curators. Founded over 40 years ago, its members have included such pioneering figures as Harald Szeeman (†), Jean-Christophe Ammann, Christoph Vitali, Nicolaus Schaffhausen and Saskia Bos. The organisation consists primarily of curators from Europe, with increasing numbers from North and South America, Asia, Australia and New Zealand. The some 500 members feature independent curators along with curators from public institutions. Liechtenstein already hosted the annual congress once before in 2007. Friedemann
