Gerrit Lansing

It is with profound sadness that the members and former members of the Board of Trustees, the staff, and loyal friends of Independent Curators International (ICI) mourn the death of our longtime President and Chairman, Gerrit Lansing. With his devoted wife and fellow ICI Trustee Sydie Lansing constantly at his side, Gerrit’s caring leadership, passion for and knowledge of art, and extraordinary generosity have provided the foundation upon which ICI has thrived. For thirty years Gerrit has been at the heart of ICI. His unswerving commitment and wisdom will be an inspiration for years to come. Our condolences to his wife and sons, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren, of whom he was so proud and loved so deeply.


“I met Gerrit in the early 70s because of his interest in our work. Gerrit, as chairman of ICI, vigorously encouraged young curators and supported their innovative exhibitions at major institutions. Because of his passion for art and his leadership and vision, ICI is one of the most respected institutions promoting young curators, organizing contemporary art exhibitions.”
