Charlotte Gould is Professor of British Studies at Université Paris Nanterre in France. She is a former student of the Ecole Normale Supérieure de Cachan and agrégée de l’université. She specializes in contemporary British art and works more specifically on the recent forms taken by public art, environmental art, and site-specific works. She wrote her doctoral thesis, which was defended at Université Sorbonne Nouvelle, on the 1990s scene and Young British Art. Her book Artangel and Financing British Art came out with Routledge in 2019 and was longlisted for the Historians of British Art 2019 Book Prize. She also co-edited two volumes alongside Sophie Mesplede: Marketing Art in the British Isles (Ashgate, 2012, longlisted for the William MB Berger Prize for British Art History), and British Art and the Environment (Routledge, 2021, longlisted for the Historians of British Art 2023 Book Prize). A forthcoming project is in collaboration with La Contemporaine archive, library and museum in Nanterre to work on their collection of posters by the See Red Women’s Workshop.
