About me

Dr Jenifer Fulton is an editorial director and cultural strategist whose work operates at the intersection of contemporary art, publishing, and the global art ecosystem. Her practice focuses on shaping how art is written about, circulated, and understood across institutional, commercial, and digital contexts.

Over the past fifteen years she has worked across magazines, art fairs, and universities. Most recently she was Head of Editorial at Art Basel, where she founded Art Basel Stories, the fair's global digital magazine, and built it into a high-volume international platform spanning text, video, and public programming across all five Art Basel fairs. She also conceived and produced Intersections, Art Basel's flagship podcast, which debuted at #1 on the Spotify Arts Charts in the United States with over 300,000 downloads; and oversaw the Art Basel & UBS Art Market Report, the most cited annual publication in the field.

 Prior to Art Basel she was Editor in Chief of Sleek magazine, and has contributed criticism and journalism to The Art Journal, Right Click Save, Frieze, Spike, Apollo, and Randian, among other publications. She has written catalogue essays for Verlag der Buchhandlung Walther König and Distanz, and contributed to the Fourth BMW Art Guide by Independent Collectors (Hatje Cantz).

 She teaches at the University of Zurich (Executive Masters in Art Market Studies) and at Zurich University of the Arts (BA Fine Arts), where her subjects include the art market, critical writing, and the art field. She is currently completing a biography of digital pioneer Rebecca Allen.

 She holds a PhD in 'Value and Evaluation in Contemporary Art' from Humboldt University Berlin (magna cum laude, 2016) and read Philosophy at the University of Cambridge.

 Based in Zurich, Switzerland. Available for editorial leadership, commissions, consultancy, and speaking engagements.
