Ed Gilbert, Art Dealer Who Championed California Conceptualism, Has Died at 67

Image
Ed Gilbert , owner and director of  Anglim Gilbert Gallery  in San Francisco , died over the weekend at the age of 67. A spokesperson for the gallery identified the cause of death as cancer. Beginning in the 1980s, Gilbert championed California formative art movements, including work among the Beats and Bay Area Conceptualists. He was a tireless promoter of West Coast experimentation at a time when the evolving art scene around it was viewed with indifference—or even contempt—by New York’s cultural arbiters. Gilbert served as the long-time director of Gallery Paule Anglim and, following the death of its founder, Paule Anglim, in 2015, assumed leadership.  The enterprise was subsequently renamed Anglim Gilbert Gallery, and a second gallery space was opened in 2016 in San Francisco.

Image
The Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal (MAC) has suspended an exhibition of work by  Jon Rafman , a high-profile artist from Montreal whose work appeared in last year’s Venice Biennale. Over the past decade, Rafman has been considered one of the most important artists of his generation for video-based work that explores the darkest corners of the internet. His 2014 video work  Mainsqueeze , which includes footage of a woman killing a live crawfish, has been widely exhibited. Rafman’s show, which featured two video works  Disasters Under the Sun  (2019) and  Poor Magic  (2017), has been suspended “until further notice,” according to a message posted last week on the museum’s website. Asked about the development, a spokesperson for the museum told  ARTnews  on Friday, “For the time being, the MAC won’t comment any further on the matter.” The museum reopened to the public in late June after a temporary closure due to the coronavirus.
