Hans Ulrich Obrist and the ICI traveling exhibition do it are profiled extensively in the current issue of The New Yorker magazine. The article, written by D. T. Max, focuses on the prolific curator, delving into his early years, the development of his intimate relationships with artists, and his dedication to unique ways of exhibiting works of art.
