Nancy Fouts
Nancy Fouts (born 23 April 1945, Seattle, died 26 April 2019) was a sculptural artist and graphic designer.[1][2]
In the late 1980s she managed the Fouts and Fowler gallery, with her then husband, designer Malcolm Fowler. Her first solo show as an artist was at Angela Flowers gallery on Lisle Street, Soho, in 1970, and more recently was regularly exhibited at Pertwee, Anderson and Gold, in Soho. In 2018 the Down the Rabbit Hole exhibition[3] at Flowers gallery, Mayfair, coincided with the publication of a monograph.[4]
She regularly showed with the Gervasuti Foundation at the Venice Biennale (2009โ17).[1]
Personal life
In 1967, she and Malcolm had founded the Shirt Sleeve advertising studio, which included campaigns for Silk Cut, British Airways, Benson & Hedges and Virgin.
Nancy was the daughter of John and Margaret Fouts. Aged 16 she was sent to a finishing school in Pont Street, Chelsea, called the Three Wise Monkeys.
The couple opened Fouts and Fowler in 1989, exhibiting their own work and that of other artists until it closed after they divorced in 1995. Thereafter Nancy focused on her own artwork.
Her home and studio was in Camden Town, a former Victorian gothic vicarage, where she lived with her long-term partner, Sophie Jegado.[6][1]
Nancy was survived by her two grown children Bo & Ben.[1]
