Von Buchau, a veteran arts critic who wrote for the AAN member Pacific Sun for almost four decades, was 67-years-old when she passed away, report the San Francisco Examiner and the
San Francisco Chronicle. The cause is believed to be complications from diabetes. Von Buchau won
three AltWeekly Awards for arts criticism, including a first-place prize in 1999.
"She was a brilliant woman, talented, irascible, and witty," former Pacific Sun managing editor Linda Xiques tells the Examiner.
