Wild Thing: Epstein, Gaudier-Brzeska, Gill
Royal Academy, until 24 January 2010
Supported by BNP Paribas and The Henry Moore Foundation

It’s an unlikely grouping, this alliance of Epstein, Gaudier-Brzeska and Gill. In many ways, this should be an Epstein solo show, or possibly an Epstein and Frank Dobson show (to link two key modernist sculptors who currently deserve reassessment), but neither of those interesting permutations would have pulled in the crowds.
