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.[2] [3]In December 2006 the Rainford Gallery in St Helens, Merseyside was renamed the Godfrey Pilkington art gallery after the gallerist.[4] Pilkington and his wife closed the Piccadilly Gallery on Dover Street on 31 May 2007.[5] References1. ^{{Citation |last = |first = |author-link = |title = Godfrey Pilkington Obituary |newspaper = The Telegraph |pages = |date = 14 July 2007 |url = https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/1557378/Godfrey-Pilkington.html |archiveurl = https://www.webcitation.org/6bvqsswcx?url=http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/1557378/Godfrey-Pilkington.html |archivedate = 30 September 2015 |accessdate = 6 January 2014 |deadurl = yes |df = }} {{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Pilkington, Godfrey}}{{UK-business-bio-stub}}2. ^{{Citation |last = Foot |first = Tom |author-link = |title = Gallery chief a champion of lesser artists |newspaper = The West End Extra |pages = |date = 24 August 2007 |url = http://www.thecnj.com/westend/2007/082407/news082407_20.html |archiveurl = https://www.webcitation.org/6bvrBH7aM?url=http://www.thecnj.com/westend/2007/082407/news082407_20.html |archivedate = 30 September 2015 |accessdate = 6 January 2014 |deadurl = yes |df = }} 3. ^{{Citation |last = Fenwick |first = Simon |title = Godfrey Pilkington - Gentlemanly art dealer and director of the Piccadilly Gallery |newspaper = The Guardian |pages = |date = 20 August 2007 |url = https://www.theguardian.com/news/2007/aug/20/guardianobituaries.artsobituaries |archiveurl = https://www.webcitation.org/6bvrMKb9i?url=http://www.theguardian.com/news/2007/aug/20/guardianobituaries.artsobituaries |archivedate = 30 September 2015 |accessdate = 6 January 2014 |deadurl = yes |df = }} 4. ^{{Citation | title = Art gallery to be renamed. | newspaper = Liverpool Echo | pages = | year = | date = 18 December 2006 | url =http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-156010225.html | archive-url =https://web.archive.org/web/20140921122327/http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-156010225.html | dead-url =yes | archive-date =21 September 2014 | via = HighBeam Research | subscription = yes | accessdate = 13 August 2014}} 5. ^{{Citation |last = McEwen |first = John |title = Art's gentle giants bid farewell |newspaper = The Times |pages = |date = 31 May 2007 |url = https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/arts-gentle-giants-bid-farewell-lwqkn0tm6g7 |accessdate = |df = }} 3 : 1918 births|2007 deaths|British art dealers |
