Yasmil Raymond, who joined MoMA this year from the DIA Art Foundation, has an impressive track record of introducing some of the brightest and best international artists to an American audience: as a curator at the Walker Art Center from 2004–09, she brought the work of Tino Sehgal and Tomás Saraceno to the US for the first time. But she has also proved adept at working with pioneering figures from previous generations, organising retrospectives of the work of Carl Andre and Franz Erhard Walther, among others.
