Letter: Phillip King obituary | Sculpture | The Guardian

Christopher Frayling writes: As well as being a great sculptor, Phillip was a man of integrity and courage

theguardian.com

Phillip King became professor of sculpture at the Royal College of Art, London, in 1980, succeeding Bernard Meadows. Jocelyn Stevens took over as rector of the RCA in 1984. He was volcanic and impetuous, whereas Phillip was easy-going and thoughtful – predictably, they did not get on. Phillip stood up mid-flow, said: “I don’t want to play this game any more” (I was sitting next to him at the time), and walked out of the room. Stevens barked: “And where do you think you’re going?” Phillip didn’t even turn round. He knew exactly where he was going – back to his studio and his practice as a sculptor. He never attended another meeting at the RCA and resigned shortly afterwards. His noble exit-line soon became college folklore. As well as being a great sculptor, Phillip was a man of integrity and courage.
