Tom Phillips, 1937-2022

Tom Phillips died Nov. 28. Here are obituaries from The Guardian, Telegraph, and Art Newspaper.

New to me from the Guardian write-up is "sound tennis," a game Phillips invented with Brian Eno. Eno described it as "a kind of hand tennis played in a room full of old pianos, the scoring being based on the noise they made when you hit one of them."

After Tacitus, 200 A.D., a collage, was shown in the Royal Academy's Summer 2022 exhibition
