“Among those whom I like or admire, I can find no common denominator, but among those whom I love, I can; all of them make me laugh.”

Martin Gayford celebrates the quiet, underrated masterpieces of Michael Andrews

Michael Andrews once noted the title of an American song on a scrap of paper: ‘Up is a Nice Place to Be.’

Michael Andrews once noted the title of an American song on a scrap of paper: ‘Up is a Nice Place to Be.’ Then he added a comment of his own: ‘The best.’ This jotting was characteristic in more than one way. A splendid exhibition at the Gagosian Gallery, Grosvenor Hill, London, makes it clear that Andrews was — among other achievements — a supreme aerial painter. No one else has better caught the sensation of floating, to quote another song from the Sixties, up, up and away.
