O autorze

Donatien Grau ist derzeit Head of Contemporary Programs am Louvre, Paris, und Vorsitzender der Association Pierre Guyotat. Er ist Herausgeber und Autor mehrerer Bücher. Zuletzt erschien sein Buch über Leben und Werk Azzedine Alaïas (Actes Sud, 2020) und Living Museums. Conversations with Leading Museum Directors (Hatje Cantz, 2020). Tom Bishop has been a professor at New York University for sixty-five years. For nearly fifty years he directed the university's Center for French Literature and Civilization, which he made into a crucial venue for French intellectual life in New York. As a self-described "ocean ferryman," a friend and fellow traveler of Samuel Beckett, Hélène Cixous, Eugène Ionesco, Alain Robbe-Grillet, and many others, he built a bridge between the worlds of literature, philosophy, and art, as well as politics and economics, between New York and Paris. His work as a scholar, essayist and curator has allowed many encounters between creative figures, scholars and cultural leaders.
