In 1996, he curated the exhibition “L’informe, mode d’emploi” with Rosalind Krauss for the Centre Georges Pompidou, with the accompanying catalogue appearing in English as Formless: A User’s Guide. Art Since 1900 (co-authored with Benjamin Buchloh, Hal Foster, and Rosalind Krauss) appeared in 2004. Bois co-organized the 1994-95 retrospective of Piet Mondrian for The Haags Gemeentemuseum, The Hague; the National Gallery, Washington D.C.; and the Museum of Modern Art, New York. Other curated exhibitions include "Matisse and Picasso: A Gentle Rivalry," at the Kimbell Museum of Art, Fort Worth (1998); “Ellsworth Kelly: Early Drawings” at the Fogg Art Museum, Cambridge (1999); “Ellsworth Kelly: Tablet,” at the Drawing Center, New York (2002); and “Picasso Harlequin” (2008) at the Vittoriano in Rome.
