Art for Wales: The Legacy of Derek WilliamsHardcover, 26 September 2020

An invaluable reflection on the legacy of Derek Williams (1929-1984), a Cardiff surveyor who, without specialist training in the field, built a collection of post-19th-century art of true quality, ensuring its display for and enjoyment by the people of Wales and international visitors after his death. Concise, insightful chapters by writer and curator David Moore examine the quality and variety of artworks assembled by Derek Williams or supported by the activity of the Derek Williams Trust, founded in 1992, over a period of over 25 years, ranging from painting to ceramics, photography and and digital media. Fully illustrated throughout.
