Curator and writer Ingrid Schaffner (born 1961) has been working in contemporary art since the mid-1980s and has developed an exceptional body of work around three themes: surrealism, collecting, and photography. Among her many projects, "Deep Storage" was a major international survey of 50 contemporary artists which represented issues and images of collecting, storage, and archiving. Other exhibitions include "Pictures, Patents, Monkeys, More ... on collecting," "Richard Tuttle, In Parts, 1998-2001," and 'The Photogenic: Photography Through its Metaphor." She has numerous publications on 20th century art, art reviews in Artforum, and catalog essays. Currently, Schaffner is the Senior Curator at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Philadelphia.
