Gabriele Schor is curator and founding director of the Verbund Collection in Vienna. Started in 2004, the collection has two thematic concentrations: “1970s Feminist Avant-Garde”, and “Perceptions of Spaces and Places”. Schor has published widely, with recent writings on Birgit Jürgenssen (2009, with Abigail Solomon-Godeau), Francesca Woodman (2014, with Elisabeth Bronfen), Renate Bertlmann (2016, with Jessica Morgan), and Louise Lawler (2018), as well as a catalogue raisonné of Cindy Sherman’s early work (2012). In 2015, she published the book Feminist Avant-Garde of the 1970s, a term she coined in order to recognize the pioneering achievements of female artists of that era.
