Biography

Élisabeth Lebovici completed her studies in Paris and New York, where she was enrolled in the Independent Study Program at the Whitney Museum of American Art. In 1983, she defended her thesis L'Argent dans le discours des artistes américains, 1980-81 [Money in the discourse of American artists, 1980-81] at the Université Paris X.

In 1991, she joined the staff of the French newspaper Libération, where she worked until 2006.
