Just wanted to say how sorry I was to hear about the death of Dr Elspeth King over the weekend. Via her work at the People’s Palace Dr King had an enormous impact on Glasgow’s culture. What she achieved there was impressive, particularly in the face of the museum possibly being swept away for Glasgow’s motorway expansion and relentless urban renewal and how she was unfairly treated by the Glasgow Museum’s hierarchy. To bravely hire Alasdair Gray for the Continuous Glasgow Show and to retrieve artworks and material from condemned buildings during the Comprehensive Development Area, in the face of questioning, deserves respect especially for how this added to Glasgow’s civic collection. For the People’s Palace to be European Museum of the Year in 1981 and then British Museum of the Year in 1983 is a huge achievement. I hope that is reflected in the refurbishment of the People’s Palace and her key role is acknowledged as it deserves to be. It is sad that Yorgos Lanthimos’s version of Poor Things omitted those key details from Alasdair Gray’s book as they absolutely summed up that era in Glasgow’s history. My condolences to Michael Donnelly and her family and friends.
