Ep.105 R.I.P Duggie Fields - Ministry of Arts Podcast

Today, Gary Mansfield revisits Episode 01 Duggie Fields (@duggiefields) who passed away on Sunday 7th March after a short illness.   Duggie was the first of many artists to correspond with Gary Mansfield, when he first discovered art and was fundamental in Gary’s life as an artist.   Duggie referred to himself as a Maximalist and described by Martin Green as “The missing Pop Art link between Patrick Caulfield and Julian Opie”   Duggie would often appear in fashion magazines and across Social Media with friends such as Andrew Logan, Zandra Rhodes and Pam Hogg.   In 2012 he was given his first solo show in 20 years, by DuoVision Arts, his work later gained a wider international audience thanks to the support of Toby Webster and The Modern Institute, where his famous Earls Court apartment and artwork superbly was recreated.     For more information on the work of Koestler Arts go to www.koestlerarts.org.uk Hosted on Acast.
