Godfrey Pilkington

Godfrey Pilkington (8 November 1918 – 8 July 2007) was a British art dealer, director and co-founder of the Piccadilly Gallery.

Together with his wife Eve and Christabel Briggs, Pilkington enjoyed over half a century of trade with the Piccadilly, avoiding the prevailing commercialism and the fashion for abstract art.

He championed the works of neglected figurative artists, Art Nouveau and 19th- and 20th-century Symbolism.

[4] Pilkington and his wife closed the Piccadilly Gallery on Dover Street on 31 May 2007.
