Dorine Mignot (1944–2018) was a curator at the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam from 1974 to 2006, and in that capacity was an important force in promoting and curating video art. Working against the opinions of most in the art community in the 1970's, she built an important collection of video art, and made the Stedelijk Museum a well-known venue for new media. (17629)
