Rodney Wilson R.I.P.


From The Arts Foundation



The Arts Foundation is sad to learn that Rodney Wilson, Arts Foundation Governor from 2002 to 2010, passed away on Saturday, 27 April.  Rodney was a highly talented and able gallery and museum director.  The Arts Foundation was very grateful to have his advice and support as a key voice during the recent re-definition of the role of the Arts Foundation Governors and through his contribution to many selection panels for both Icon and Laureate Awards.

An excellent advocate for the visual arts, Rodney provided a confident voice for architecture, furniture design and sculpture at selection meetings. Rodney, along with Sir Miles Warren, always made a wonderfully handsome pair at Arts Foundation events in their splendid bow ties.  We will miss Rodney’s advice, his warm smile and laughter.

Not long ago Rodney married Maureen. The happiness this brought Rodney filtered down from the north where they lived. Our thoughts are with Maureen, Rodney's family and his many friends at this sad time.
