David Trigg

Art Writer, Critic & Art Historian

David Trigg is a writer, critic and art historian based in Bristol, UK. He is a regular contributor to books on art and has contributed articles, reviews and interviews to publications including Studio International, Art Quarterly, The Art Newspaper, Art Monthly, ArtReview, ArtUK, Frieze, The Burlington Magazine, Art Papers and MAP. He is the author of Reading Art (Phaidon Press, 2018), which explores the relationship between art and literature, creatively tracing the history of how artists have depicted books as symbols, subjects and objects. It was featured on BBC Radio 4’s Open Book and selected by The Times as an art book of the year. His book, Spring (Tate Publishing, 2020), explores the season of spring through 50 artworks from the Tate collection. His latest book, Money In Art: From Coinage to Crypto (HENI Publishing, 2024) features a curated selection of over 80 artworks from Pop Art to now surveying how artists have placed money centre stage in their work –– from early works of Pop art, which conveyed the seductive power of money and exposed art as a commodity, to contemporary artworks that use currency as a lens to examine pressing social, economic, and political concerns. David's writing on art appears in numerous other books, including Great Women Sculptors (Phaidon, 2024), Latin American Artists (Phaidon, 2023), Great Women Painters (Phaidon, 2022), African Artists (Phaidon, 2021), Vitamin D3 (Phaidon 2021), Great Women Artists (Phaidon, 2019), and Vitamin T (Phaidon, 2019). A selection of his interviews with artists are included in Talking Art 2 (Ridinghouse, 2018). David holds a PhD in Art History from the University of Bristol and in 2018 was awarded a Postdoctoral Fellowship by the Paul Mellon Centre for British Art. He has a Master’s degree in History of Art and a first-class Bachelor’s degree in Fine Art. He is a member of the International Association of Art Critics.
