Ninon Gauthier studied sociology at the University of Montreal (1965–1968), sociology of art at the École Pratique des Hautes Études en Sciences Humaines (Paris [1972–1974]), and art history at the Sorbonne (PhD 2004).

She has conducted several research for educational institutions, museums, artists’ associations and governments such as her appointment as the desk person for the Visual Arts at the Federal Cultural Policy Review Committee (1981–1983).

Strongly involved in democratization of culture and knowledge of modern and contemporary art, she coordinated public communications and animation at the Montreal Art Fair (1984) and the Bay St. Paul Painting Symposium (1985–1986 and 1990). She was also involved as an art adviser to corporate collections for which she developed educational programs. In 1989, she received the Excellence Award in Cultural Journalism from the Canadian Conference of the arts.

Dr. Gauthier is the co-author of a monograph on Marcel Barbeau Fugato (1990) and undertook its publishing. As an art historian and specialist of Marcel Barbeau she is particularly interested in issues of transdisciplinarity and the relationship between ownership and the combined expression of space, movement and time in painting as in abstract sculpture. She is currently updating and writing the catalog raisonné of Marcel Barbeau’s work, her doctoral thesis for publication.

She also curated several exhibitions in museums and public galleries in Canada, nationally and international. She has written, translated and coordinated exhibition catalogs and lectured on art in French and in English, in Canada and Europe.

President of the Marcel Barbeau Foundation, she collaborates with the National Museum of Fine Arts of Quebec (MNBAQ) in the preparation of the artist’s retrospective.
