Tributes paid to FT reviews veteran Kevin Henriques

By paulmcnally

Financial Times arts writer Antony Thorncroft has paid tribute to his former colleague, Kevin Henriques, who died last month at the age of 72.

Henriques worked behind-the-scenes on the FT arts page for 25 years, until he took early retirement in 1993.

“Every working evening, Kevin would slip into the building, wearing a shabby red cardigan and usually unshaven,” says Thorncroft. “He had to deal with a collection of prima donnas, yet he won their admiration and affection.”
