A Critic’s Choice Selected by Andrew Lambirth
Browse & Darby, until 7 May
The bravest thing an art critic can do is to show their own work; the next bravest is to mount a show of the artists they admire. Publishing one’s critical opinions in print is one thing; hanging up the physical evidence in public is quite another. One normally fearless critic of my acquaintance, when invited to do it, declined with a shudder and a quote from ‘The Charge of the Light Brigade’.
Cork Street didn’t feel like the Valley of Death when I visited Andrew Lambirth’s Critic’s Choice last week. Lambirth has a long association with Browse & Darby, and his selection of 24 painters features half a dozen gallery artists, past and present, including Euan Uglow, Anthony Fry, Anthony Eyton, Patrick Symons and Jeffery Camp.
