The critics
Giles Montague Guff
Critic at large for the London Hospital for Neurological Diseases, Montague Guff was educated at Isleworth School for Little Boys and Oxford, where he graduated with a double first in tennis and theology.
His interest in art was awakened while on a family holiday in Texas, when he was run over by a combine harvester driven by the great American landscape painter Andrew Wyeth. On recovering, Guff left the family wine business and flirted with the fringes of the art world, eventually piloting the helicopter that took the pictures of Robert Smithson's celebrated Spiral Jetty.
Guff lives with his wife, the French botanist Hortensia Numbskull and their labrador, Pablo, in Paris and Kensington. He was recently awarded the prestigious Prix Migraine by the Académie des Hautes Études Incompréhensible for outstanding services to European art and culture.
His new book of collected criticism, More Guff, is published next year by Dolce and Gabbana.
