“Judy Egerton represented the best of the old-fashioned amateur art historian and the importance of such figures in the real world of art, the art museum. With no academic qualifications in art or art history but a deep love of art and a lifetime of contact with the actual object as collector, recorder, cataloguer, exhibition organiser and writer, she was of a kind now almost extinct if not actually discouraged.” (obituary in The Times, 6 April 2012)
