No one could more richly deserve this honor. Well done, Clive.

The Art Libraries Society (ARLIS) UK & Ireland is pleased to announce Clive
Phillpot as the recipient of its Honorary Membership award, the Society's
highest honour. The award recognises an individual who has made an
outstanding contribution to art librarianship, or associated fields, in the
UK and Ireland or internationally. Clive's pioneering work and enormous
contribution to the critical and scholarly literature of artists' books, as
well as the professional literature of art libraries and art documentation,
his distinguished service at MoMA and other UK and US institutions, and the
key roles he has played over the last five decades in the establishment and
development of both ARLIS UK & Ireland and ARLIS/NA have been acknowledged
by the award panel.

 

Through his collection development, curating and writing from the early
1970s to date, Clive has played a fundamental role in defining and bringing
attention to the medium of artists' books. He worked as Librarian at Chelsea
School of Art (1970-1977) and Library Director at MoMA (1977-1994), where he
created important artists' books collections. He served on the boards of the
Center for Book Arts (New York), Franklin Furnace Archive and Printed Matter
(president 1992-1993). A collection of historical texts, manifestos,
catalogues entries and essays was published in 2013, titled Booktrek:
Selected Essays on Artists' Books 1972-2010 (JRP-Ringier). His areas of
expertise also include Conceptual art (Live in your head: concept and
experiment in Britain, 1965-75; Voids: a retrospective), Fluxus (Fluxus:
selections from the Gilbert and Lila Silverman Collection) and artists like
Ed Ruscha, Ray Johnson, Ulises Carrion and many others.

 

His contribution to the professional literature of art librarianship is
vast, including seminal catalogues and other monographs such as The Art
Press: Two Centuries of Art Magazines (Art Book Company, 1976), co-edited
with Trevor Fawcett, published on the occasion of the International
Conference on Art Periodicals and the exhibition The Art Press at the
Victoria and Albert Museum; Art library manual: a guide to resources and
practice (Bowker, 1977), edited by Philip Pacey; Please come to the show
(Occasional Papers, 2014), edited by David Senior; and many articles
published in the ARLIS Newsheet, Art Libraries Journal and Art Documentation
among other key professional journals. He has been active for the last five
decades in a range of professional bodies, and is a founding member of ARLIS
UK & Ireland (secretary 1970-1972) and long standing member of ARLIS/NA
(secretary 1979-1981, president 1989-1990). He became honorary fellow of
University of the Arts London in 2013.

 

The award will be presented to Clive by the Chair of the Society, Carla
Marchesan, at the ARLIS UK & Ireland Annual Conference 2018, as part of the
Conference Reception to be held at Central Saint Martins, University of the
Arts London, on Thursday 26 July 2017.
