Which artist, maker or architect would they really like to be writing about and see better known? To answer such a question, and as part of the 100th birthday celebrations of the whole Critics’ Circle in 2013, its Visual Arts & Architecture section decided to ask each of its members to put forward a name for consideration. Thanks to some great co- operation from the Mall Galleries , the intriguing outcome can be seen in a show in their contemporary gallery (along with brief reasons why on the label) in the Threadneedle Space this month (10 to 15 June).
