Vale Frank Watters - Artlink magazine

Gallerist Frank Watters OAM died this week aged 86. There are others who can better attest to his formidable contribution to the Sydney contemporary art landscape but way back in 2006 I had the opportunity to interview Frank for Artlink magazine’s “Elders: The Old Magic” issue, when Watters was just a sprightly 72. This was one of my first ever artist interviews as a fledgling writer and I remember feeling so nervous. Frank though was so generous and easy and my strongest memories still are of sitting upstairs in his apartment above the gallery in Darlinghurst, amid the books and artworks, just delighted and enraptured with his stories and reflections, not quite believing that someone was paying me for this privilege.
