(Marie-)Catherine de Zegher (born Groningen[1], April 14, 1955[2][3]) is a prominent international curator, and a modern and contemporary art critic and art historian.[4] She has a degree in History of Art and Archaeology from the University of Ghent.[5][6] De Zegher was the Director of the Ghent Museum of Fine Arts, Ghent (Belgium), but got suspended[7][8][9] and later fired due to doubts regarding the authenticity regarding the Toporovski collection.[10][11][12] Since 2014 De Zegher is a member of the Royal Flemish Academy of Belgium for Science and the Arts.[13] She was the Artistic Director of all our relations, the 18th Biennale of Sydney, Australia (2012) and of More Light/Bolshe Seta, the 5th Moscow Biennale, Russia (2013).[14][15][16][17] She curated the Australian Pavilion (Simryn Gill: Here art grows on trees) at the 55th Venice Biennale in 2013 and the Belgian Pavilion (Thierry De Cordier) at the 47th Venice Biennale in 1997. In 2017 she received the Oscarla award for her role in the art world.[18] Her art projects often promote the feminine principle.[19]
Exhibitions and publications
Catherine de Zegher's most recent book is an anthology of collected essays on contemporary women artists written over 15 years: Women's Work Is Never Done.[20] In 2012, de Zegher curated and edited All our relations (18th Biennale of Sydney).[21][22] De Zegher wrote On Line. Drawing Through the Twentieth Century (1910-2010) as a curator of an exhibition by that name[23] at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. In 2010 she has curated the exhibition Alma Matrix: Bracha Ettinger and Ria Verhaeghe[24] in juxtaposition with Eva Hesse. Studioworks (2010) at the Fundació Antoni Tàpies in Barcelona.
De Zegher was the Director of Exhibitions and Publications at the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto in 2007-09 and the Executive Director and Chief Curator of The Drawing Center in New York in 1999-2006 and Editor of its Drawing Papers. However A 2006 planned art exhibition on Drawing from the American-Vietnam war became controversial. Ultimately leading to de Zegher her resignation.[25] In a press statement it was stated that her resignation was due to her differences in vision with the Center's president, George Negroponte, with De Zegher focusing on exhibitions and Mr. Negroponte on building the center's artist services and on creating studio work space, a well as objections to how much money Ms. de Zegher spent on shows at the Drawing Center[26] This is, however disputed and her resignation was more likely due to the museum not supporting de Zegher in her defence of the critical independence of art.[25]
She was previously co-founder and Director of the Kanaal Art Foundation (Kortrijk, Belgium, 1988-1998) and in 1992 co-curated the large-scale exhibition America. Bride of the Sun: 500 years Latin-America and the Low Countries at the Royal Museum of Fine Arts in Antwerp.[27]
In 1996 de Zegher curated Inside the Visible: An Elliptical Traverse of Twentieth-Century Art in, of, and from the Feminine at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston.[28] The exhibition was accompanied by a book (MIT Press).[29] Her exhibitions accompanied by books and catalogues include: Mona Hatoum: Beyond the Violence Vortex into the Beauty Vortex (2011); Bracha L. Ettinger: Art as Compassion (2011), co-edited with Griselda Pollock;[30] Cristina Iglesias: Deep Fountain (2008); Julie Mehretu: Drawings (2007)[31]; Freeing the Line (2007)[32]; Eva Hesse Drawing (2006);[33] Joelle Tuerlinckx: Drawing Inventory (2006); 3 x Abstraction: New Methods of Drawing by Hilma af Klint, Emma Kunz, and Agnes Martin (2005);[34] Richard Tuttle: It’s a Room for 3 People (2005); "Ocean Flowers: Impressions from Nature" (2004);Giuseppe Penone: The Imprint of Drawing (2004); The Stage of Drawing: Gesture and Act.

She co-edited with Carol Armstrong Women Artists at the Millennium (MIT Press).[37]
Controversy with the Toporovski collection
In Fall 2017 the Museum of Fine Arts in Ghent re-installed its permanent collection and included works by contemporary artists Luc Tuymans, Ria Verhaeghe and Patrick Van Caeckenbergh. The new installation also included a few Russian avantgarde works from the Dieleghem Foundation (Toporovski collection, owned by Igor Toporovski). In 2018, however, the Toporovski collection was claimed to be doubtful concerning their authenticity by a group of art dealers and some scholars in The Art Newspaper and De Standaard.[38][39] Due to the problems surrounding the collection, the museum board ordered an audit on the event and de Zegher was suspended pending this process.[40][41][42] Later, several Flemish museum directors critiqued the handling of de Zegher and the MSK.[43][44] De Zegher held fast to her claim that they did all the necessary art historical research.[43][45] A former exhibition in France featuring work from the Toporovski's was questioned as well, however the court ruled the paintings to be real.[46] The Flemish Parlement debated in Februari 2018 how to limit the negative effects of this controversy for other Belgian musea[47][48] Following these events, some employees of the Museum of Fine Arts Ghent formally (anonymously) denounced de Zegher in a letter sent to city officials in late 2018. In the letter, some team members anonymously expressed their unwillingness to collaborate with de Zegher any further, in case she would be allowed to return to the museum.[1]
De Zegher disputes any wrongdoing.[49][50] The Director of the MSK and the City of Ghent closed the exhibition and terminated the contract with the owner so that the works could be returned. The latter stated that an investigation will be conducted to verify the authenticity of the works.[51] Currently the matter is in the hands of an investigating judge.[52] Toporovski claimed that lab research already showed that all the works analysed before they were seized are indeed from the proclaimed area and are thus real.[53][54][55]
After 7 months of her suspension, 63 artists, among museum directors and intellectuals published a letter in support of Catherine de Zegher. Among those to have signed the letter include artists Eija-Liisa Ahtila, Luis Camnitzer, Cristina Iglesias, Simryn Gill, Mona Hatoum, Giuseppe Penone, Luc Tuymans, and Cecilia Vicuña; art historian Benjamin H. D. Buchloh; Catherine David, deputy director of the Centre Pompidou in Paris; Bartomeu Mari, director of the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Seoul; and Ann Gallagher, director of Tate Modern’s British Art collections.[56] The letter reads:
"We are appalled to see how one of the preeminent women curators of her generation internationally, a wholly professional and widely acclaimed museum director, has been made the plaything of unscrupulous media and of international speculation in the art of the Russian avantgarde, resulting in a severe media process destroying her work and reputation. Through this letter, we affirm our full support for Catherine de Zegher as museum director and as curator. We challenge the local and national authorities concerned on the important issue of having, keeping, protecting and supporting visionary museum directors in their country, remaining independent in their judgement from the pressure media exert and the correlated hype and sensation, and above all from the growing influence of a certain art market linked with finance and power. We ask them to seriously pay attention to the role art and museums play in our cities, regions and in the society at large, the great principles they represent, and the necessity of having inspirational museum directors and curators to lead the way." [57]
On October 17, 2018 de Zegher organised a press conference during which she stated that several of the works in the show had since been tested in laboratories and were proven to contain materials dating from the period to which they were attributed. She also repeated her earlier claim that art-historical research had been undertaken.[58] In Oktober 2018 Toporovski announced that several works were tested for their authenticity and proven to be real. He also stated he will publish a book regarding the controversy.[59][60][61][62]
On November 5 the International Committee for Museums and Collections of Modern Art (CiMAM) issued a statement in support of Catherine de Zegher. The full statement reads:
“In its capacity as the international association for Museums and Collections of Modern and Contemporary art, and as an affiliate of ICOM, CIMAM wishes to register its deep concern at the treatment of Catherine de Zegher in her capacity as Director of the Museum of Fine Arts (MSK) in Ghent. Since January 2018, as part of investigations into the authenticity of a group of Russian modernist works, Ms de Zegher has been subject to a series of accusations that have not been dismissed nor brought to appropriate conclusion. This has caused considerable damage to her reputation as a museum professional and curator of the highest standing internationally. In expressing its support for Ms de Zegher CIMAM also wishes to defend the principles of integrity and respect for museum professionals globally at a time when museums and their directors are being confronted with pressures from the art market, undue interference from governing bodies, and campaigns based on misinformation”[63]
Litigation and indefinite suspension
Late January of 2019 the city of Ghent formally lodged a complaint against de Zegher and the Dieleghem Foundation after strong evidence came to light suggesting documents pertaining to the loan - supposedly dating to 2017 and confiscated by the public prosecutor in early 2018 - had in fact been forged. In reply, de Zegher attempted to sue the alderman of culture for libel, but the plea appeared to be ungrounded.[64][65][66][67][68]
On February 22nd 2019 de Zegher was suspended indefinitely as director, based on the findings of the audit that had started in 2018.[69][70] She will not return to the Museum of Fine Arts, but remains an employee of the Department of Culture.[71] The city also announced that de Zegher remains subject to ongoign disciplinary proceedings, pending a possible definite dismissal.[72]
