Trevor John Kennedy AM 24.6.1942 – 28.11.2021, Lesley Garrett, Anne Schofield & John Hawkins

Abstract:

Lesley Garrett, a long-standing family friend, fondly recalls Trevor Kennedy's life and passion for collecting, amassing the most important collection of Australian decorative arts ever assembled... Anne Schofield, the source of much of the spectacular jewellery acquired for his collection, has her own distinct memories of Trevor Kennedy as a collector... John Hawkins adds an anecdote, praises private collectors for their passion and foresight, and takes a swipe at those who neither appreciate the importance nor fund the collection, preservation and presentation of artefacts that help define us as Australians.
