SIR,—The untimely death of Gordon Herickx this year has deprived
England of a rarely gifted sculptor at a, time when his talents were meeting with deserved recognition. This century has so far produced few sculptors of Herickx's calibre and integrity and it is felt that examples of his work should be in the nation's art collections.
With this object a committee has been formed and a fund has already been started. Contributions are invited and should be sent to the Hon. Treasurer, Gordon Herickx Memorial Fund, c/o Lloyds Bank Ltd., Edgbaston, Birmingham, 15.
Every contribution however small will be gratefully acknowledged and full information about the fund and its disposal will be sent to each subscriber in due course.—Yours faithfully,
JOHN HAMPSON (Chairman) WALTER ALLEN, DOROTHY BAKER, JOHN BERGER, TRENCHARD COX, E. R. DODDS, LESLIE HALWARD, PAUL HUMPHREYS, WILLIAM JENKIN, JOHN LEHMANN, LOUIS MACNEICE, OLIVIA MANNING, WILLIAM PLOMER, HENRY REED, I. C. ROWLAND, I. A. SHAPIRO, WILLI SOUKOP, PUMP. TOYNBEE, G. L. TREVELYAN, THOMAS WRIGHT, F. R. S. YORKE.
