Tim Walker: Remembering my friend Margot

Waikato Museum | Te Whare Taonga o Waikato

Hear from renowned curator Tim Walker as he reflects on the life and personal journey of artist Margot Philips.

Waikato Museum

Tim Walker, renowned curator and champion of the arts, first met Margot Philips in 1986 when as a curator at Waikato Museum, he was developing a small exhibition of her work.“I was really just seeking information and quotes to accompany each painting. In the end she agreed,” he says. “Quite quickly a beautiful friendship developed – between an elderly artist who had by then stopped painting, and a young curator at the beginning of his career.”The recordings of these conversations eventually became the book Margot Philips – Her Own World which accompanied the exhibition of the same name at Waikato Museum held in 1987 - 1988.In this public talk, Walker will reflect on Philips’ life and personal journey, as well as the current exhibition of her work, <a href="https://waikatomuseum.co.nz/exhibitions-and-events/view/2145883738/of-this-place-margot-philips-landscapes" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Of This Place: Margot Philips’ Landscapes</a>.Image credit: Margot Philips, 'The Nearby Hill' 1975.
