Andrew Wilson is editor of the Patrick Heron catalogue raisonné (for the Patrick Heron Trust). A critic, historian and curator, he was previously senior curator of modern and contemporary British art, and archives at Tate Britain (2006-21) and before that deputy editor at Art Monthly (1998-2006).

He has published and curated widely on many aspects of British and international art of the 20th century with a concentration on post-war modernist and countercultural currents, and is the author of Richard Hamilton Swingeing London 67 (Afterall/MIT Press 2012).
