Ask a Curator: Francesco Bonami on Difficult Artists, the Decade’s Biggest Art Flops, and More

Francesco Bonami, whose curatorial credits include the 2003 Venice Biennale and the 2010 Whitney Biennial, has returned for the third edition of his column, “Ask a Curator,” in which he addresses the books every curator should read, why Italians are the fussiest art audience, and the often-underappreciated aspects of a show that the public should admire. He can be found on Instagram at @thebonamist. If you have queries for him for a future column, please write to editorial@
