Guy Brett, Influential Curator and Critic Who Expanded Art History, Has Died at 78
Guy Brett, a curator and critic associated with London’s pioneering Signals gallery of the 1960s, has died at 78. Kurimanzutto gallery, which in collaboration with Thomas Dane Gallery hosted an exhibition devoted to Signals in 2018, announced Brett’s passing on Instagram, but did not specify a cause of death.
Throughout his career, Brett, who was born in 1942, widened art history’s Eurocentric purview to include figures from Latin America and Asia who had been overlooked by his colleagues. As critic for the Times of London and many other outlets, including Art in America, for whom he addressed the art of Rasheed Araeen in 1998, Brett focused on those whose work might not otherwise fit chronologies and narratives that had been historically centered in the discipline.

Emerging Artists to Watch in this Century
Daniel Bilmes
The portraits of Cayce Zavaglia, originally from Australia, are hand sewn using cotton and silk thread or crewel embroidery wool. Her meticulous attention to detail means that from a distance they read as hyper-realistic paintings, and only after closer inspection does the work’s true construction reveal itself.
The portraits she weaves of family, friends and fellow artists have created fabric paintings that glow with life and personality with sewn threads mimicking the way brush marks are layered within a painting. Her “versos” — the reverse side of her embroidered works — are a work of art themselves.
Darren Reid
Darren Reid, a self-taught acrylic painter from Derby, UK creates local scenes with incredible photorealistic detail at first glance, though he can cleverly change angles so that on second glance you can see the angle of the bridge or the narrowness of the street is not entirely accurate, so that whilst photographs inform the works, Reid allows himself the freedom of interpretation.
