An archaeologist, restorer, art historian, curator, author, and publisher, Jacqueline Burckhardt embodies a deep, lifelong passion for artistic creation. Co-founder of the influential art journal Parkett, she was awarded the Meret Oppenheim Prize in 2024 in recognition of her invaluable contribution to the art scene in Switzerland and beyond.
Her rich, project-filled life is chronicled in La mia commedia dell’arte (Patrick Frey, 2024), an intimate and captivating text shaped as a series of dialogues with Juri Steiner, director of the MCBA (Musée cantonal des Beaux-Arts).
Through these conversations, readers discover the many facets of a woman driven by a refined aesthetic sensibility, a profound connection to art in all its forms, and above all, an unbounded curiosity about creativity’s power to break down barriers and reimagine the world.
