Corinna Thierolf is an art historian and a freelance curator. Until 2020 she was the head of the Art Since 1945 collection at the Bayerische Staatsgemaldesammlungen in Munich. For over 25-years she has contributed to shaping the Pinakothek der Moderne with many exhibitions and acquisitions, as well as authored and curated several of the museum's publications. The creation of the International Patrons of the Pinakothek was the fruit of her intuition, promoting the successful Koenigsklasse summer exhibitions at Schloss Herrenchiemsee (2013-2019). Her main interest is the relationship between public and private collections. She recently curated an exhibition of Joseph Beuys with Tony Cragg (2021), and she collaborated with Sergio Risaliti and Gerhard Wolf on a volume about the works of Wolfgang Laib exhibited inside monumental locations in the city of Florence.
