It is with deep sadness and profound respect that the Zimmerli acknowledges the passing of Jaune Quick-to-See Smith (b. 1940, citizen of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Nation), a visionary artist, educator, and activist whose life’s work transcended boundaries and bridged cultures. Her extraordinary contributions to contemporary art and her tireless advocacy for Indigenous voices have left an indelible mark on the art world and beyond.
