Art and film critic, London correspondent for Artforum.

Prior to joining the staff on the MA in Contemporary Art programme at Sotheby's Institute of Art in 2005, Gilda was Commissioning Editor for Contemporary Art at Phaidon Press, where she worked from 1994-2005.

There she managed Phaidon's contemporary art department, which included commissioning some 50+ books in the 'Contemporary Artists' series, working with major artists such as Louise Bourgeois, Jeff Wall, Jenny Holzer, Mike Kelley, Pipilotti Rist, Raymond Pettibon, Paul McCarthy, Maurizio Cattelan among many others.

Gilda conceived and commissioned Phaidon's well-known 'cream' series of 'biennials-in-a book' (cream, fresh cream, and cream3) which since 1998 regularly introduces 100 new artists selected by a team of 10 international curators. She also edited the Themes and Movements series of anthologies, among them Land and Environmental Art, The Artist's Body, Conceptual Art, Arte Povera, Minimalism.

Other publications she was involved with there include Vitamin P (for which she was also a contributor) on contemporary painting, Vitamin Ph on contemporary photography, the monograph Gordon Matta-Clark, The 20th Century Art Book, and many others.
