Ed Gilbert (1953–2020)
Gallerist Ed Gilbert, who championed California’s art scene during his forty years in San Francisco, has died of cancer at age sixty-seven. As owner-director of Anglim Gilbert Gallery (formerly Galerie Paule Anglim), Gilbert showed Bay Area Conceptualists like Lynn Hershman Leeson, Howard Fried, and David Ireland at a time when West Coast artists were considered unfashionable by the New York–dominated art world.

After attending boarding school in Switzerland, he went on to Paris and then to Brighton, where he studied art history and French at Sussex University.

In Memoriam: Ed Gilbert
Ed Gilbert, the owner-director of Anglim Gilbert galleri, formerly Gallery Paule Anglim, passed away on July 19, 2020 in San Francisco. The cause was cancer. Ed grew up mostly in Europe as a so-called army brat. His father was in military intelligence, his mother was from the Philippines. He was born in Austria, grew up in Munich, and spent his teen years at a Swiss boarding school, then Paris for several years. He moved to London in 1975 on the advice of his friend, Shay Cunliffe, who suggested that he attend Sussex University and arranged for him to move in to her father’s basement flat in Brighton. He studied art history and French, and spent a year abroad in Paris with his friend Briony Fer, where he was designing clothes and considering a career in fashion.
According to Fer, “He just stood out, a bit older, very cosmopolitan and sophisticated, fluent in many languages. He opened the whole world up. He knew about contemporary art and film – food – fas
