Popular during the 1990s through 2004, some of Heath's dolls are included in my second book, Black Dolls: A Comprehensive Guide to Celebrating, Collecting, and Experiencing the Passion.
The doll culture has lost one of its masters.

A month after I posted a blog about one of my favorite Philip Heath dolls, Aaron, the artist passed away. I just learned of his passing while reading the current digital issue of DOLLS magazine. Heath died November 28, 2011, in Worcestershire, United Kingdom. I am saddened to hear this. Although I no longer collect larger artist dolls, I remained a fan of Heath's work prior to his Lost and Found series, referenced in the Aaron post.

You really know how to mess up a person's Sunday. I didn't have any of his dolls but he truly was a master. This one hits me hard.
ReplyDeleteHow sad! He was one of the talented artists!
