TOM PHILLIPS
25th May 1937 – 28th November 2022
So sad to hear of the passing of a favourite artist and one of the nicest and most interesting men I ever met. Tom Phillips aged 85.
I have his book 'A Humument' in one of its editions as an artist's book (Thames & Hudson I think!) Works, Texts by Hansjörg Mayer and a signed print somewhere in the Swapper's Mansions vaults prolly down passed the Ha-ha and beyond the dungeon and the secure archive where I keep my records (ask your grandparents about vinyl)
