Tom Phillips (1937-2022) was a true polymath. A painter, poet, and composer, Tom Phillips has exhibited worldwide. His work is in the British Museum, the Tate, New York's Museum of Modern Art, and the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris. His books include A Humument and an illustrated translation of Dante's Inferno. He is survived by his wife, the music critic Fiona Maddocks. Phillips was a pivotal force in the London art scene for over six decades, his work encompassing everything from commissioned portraits of the Monty Python team to mentoring Brian Eno on the ideas that would develop into ambient and generative music. Phillips channeled his varied life experience onto the most humble of surfaces – the pages of a forgotten Victorian novel – to coax poetry and spirit out of paint, collage, and the printed word. His longest ongoing project, A Humument, began in 1966 with a self-imposed challenge to make art out of the first book he found for three pence in a used bookstore. It would become an enduring thread in his work for the next sixty years. We are honored to present a selection of these works alongside pieces from Phillips’ stunning reinterpretation of Dante’s Inferno.
Andrew Hayes is a sculptor based in Asheville, North Carolina. He bends paper and steel to transform each material into pure visual potential. The lines and form of his work are subtle and transportive. Transcending written language, these pieces exude an ease and inner harmony that trick us into believing steel and books are natural bedfellows – destined for one another. Hayes earned his metal in the industrial welding trade and refined his technique and vision at the Penland School of Craft under the tutelage of Hoss Haley.
Both artists are in notable collections all over the world. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of Hayes’ work will go toward supporting artists impacted by Hurricane Helene. The sale of Phillips’ work will support the ongoing care and preservation of his artwork and legacy.
