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 15 years, she has worked across museums, magazines, and art fairs, most recently as Head of Editorial at Art Basel, where she founded Art Basel Stories, the fair’s digital magazine. There, she led the development of a global editorial platform spanning text, video, and public programming, collaborating with artists, curators, galleries, and academics worldwide. Prior to this, she was editor in chief at Sleek magazine, and contributed to Frieze, Spike, Randian, and Apollo magazines among many publications.

Her work combines rigorous research with a strong editorial sensibility, engaging with questions of value, visibility, and cultural production in contemporary art. In parallel, she teaches at the University of Zurich and Zurich University of the Arts, and contributes to international conversations on the art market and cultural publishing.

She obtained her PhD on the subject of “Value and evaluation in 21st Century Art” from the Humboldt University in Berlin in 2017, and read Philosophy at the University of Cambridge for her undergraduate degree. 

She is currently working on a biography of digital pioneer Rebecca Allen, and resides in Zurich, Switzerland.
