A founder member of the Young British Artists group has sent shockwaves through the art world by committing suicide. Angus Fairhurst, 41, is believed to have taken his life on Saturday while on a remote walk in Scotland. His body was found in woodland near Inveroran cottage in Bridge of Orchy. He was thought to have been depressed, although friends did not detect anything was wrong at a recent dinner to celebrate his latest show of new work. Stephen Deuchar, Director of Tate Britain, said: “Angus’s death is tragic loss to British art. He was a brilliantly inventive, witty and provocative artist, always modest about his fundamentally important contribution to the soaring international reputation of British art since the 1990s.”
