Lot Essay

Sir Nicholas Goodison commented: ‘The Guardian’s reviewer of Redpath’s first solo exhibition at the Stone Gallery in 1961, described Lilies as ‘what can be considered one of the major Scottish paintings of the past decade and even, for that matter, of all time.’ (W. E. Johnson, ‘No Feminine Brush’, The Guardian, 2 November 1961, p. 9).
