Vignette Art Fair 2024 Curator

Vivian Li

Dr. Vivian Li is the Lupe Murchison Curator of Contemporary Art at the Dallas Museum of Art. Since arriving at the DMA in 2019, she has realized ambitious collaborations with artists such as Mel Chin and Tiffany Chung, and organized Slip Zone: A New Look at Postwar Abstraction in the Americas and East Asia (co-curated) and the retrospective Matthew Wong: The Realm of Appearances. Prior to coming to the DMA, she worked at the Guggenheim Museum; the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; and the Worcester Art Museum. A specialist in postwar and contemporary art in Asia, she received her PhD from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. She has edited and contributed to various publications, including the Oxford Art Journal, Art History, Yishu: Journal of Contemporary Chinese Art, and the anthology Postwar—A Global Art History, 1945–1965.

Vignette Art Fair stands out for its transformative impact, not only in elevating female artists but also in cultivating a vibrant culture of collecting their work. I am honored and excited to play a role in this year’s fair, eager to engage in enriching dialogues and weave together diverse perspectives and practices as part of a shared conversation across the state.
