Ombretta Agro Andruff - Biography
Ombretta Agro Andruff, born in Italy in 1971, is a New
York and Miami -based freelance curator, art consultant
and writer. Moving to the U.S. in 1998, she curated solo
and group shows along with special projects in Europe,
the United States and India in collaboration with
museums, art festivals, commercial galleries and art
fairs such as Artists Space; The Queens Museum of Art;
Lower Manhattan Cultural Council; The Armory Show;
The Art Basel Miami Fair; The Downtown Arts Festival;
The d.u.m.b.o. art under the Bridge Festival; Dorsky
Gallery Curatorial Programs; the 2006 Turin Winter
Olympic Games, and the Religare Arts Initiative.
Agrd's 360 -degree understanding of the intricacies of
the art world comes from her work within both the non-
profit and for-profit worlds: through participation at art
fairs via her company Agro/Glickman STEP (1) (2005-
2011), as an independent art consultant and curatorial advisor, a contributor to art
publications, books and catalogues. She has consulted for the Italian Cultural
Institute of New York, the advisory firm Art Assets, the biennial event Asian
Contemporary Art Week (ACAW), and she served as the International Art Advisor for
the New Delhi -based Religare Art (2007-2013). From 2014 to 2016 she was the
curatorial advisor for Miami -based Diana Lowenstein Gallery and is currently
spearheading ARTSail, a research and residency program focused on exploring
Miami's relationship to water and the environmental challenges faced by South
Florida, in collaboration with the ArtCenter/South Florida and the Patricia and Philip
Frost Museum of Science. She is part of the Art in Public Places Committee for the
City of Miami Beach and joined the board of IKT, the International Association of
Contemporary Art Curators, in April 2014.
Respected for her uncanny ability to identify the "valued" artists of tomorrow—
today—Ombretta began lecturing in 2001 when she was invited by the Whitney
Museum of American Art in New York to speak on her personal curatorial
experience. She has since lectured in New York City at Engine 27; the School of
Visual Arts; Pratt Institute; New York University; the United Nations; Cooper Union;
as well as Kingston University (London), the Fondazione Bevilacqua LaMasa
(Venice); Technarte (Bilbao); the inauguration of the Religare Arts Initiative (New
Delhi); and the JJ School of Art in Mumbai, India.
More than two decades of international contemporary art experience provides
Ombretta Agro Andruff with a unique perspective, in an increasingly diverse art
world, enabling her to build cultural bridges that facilitate broader public awareness
of emerging and mid -career artists – virtually the world over.
