Fantastic English Modern Artists or Total Frauds who were 'invented' by the Saatchi Brothers?

Never heard of them. I am still getting over Rolf Harris's demise.

Tracey Emin is an amazing artist,Damien Hurst is a sell out pig,i saw an expo of his work in Melbourne in 2004 and it was nothing but self serving crap.He's in it for the money and fame.

Feck me! An honest and thoughtful reply!
Where do you get this "Tracey Emin is an amazing artist" thing from as all she's really done is her vodka and spunk soaked bed - a bit like mine - and that stupid tent. Then there's a few line drawings of her pissing as she orgasms...Then she went into Electric lighting effects that even Soft Cell did better in "Say hello; Wave goodbye? Video in the 80's..
Hirst's 'Lullaby Spring' sold for $17.2m in 2007. He must be doing something right?
Maybe he's got a good left foot?

Another who has never heard of either. Googled "Tracey Emin CBE and Damien Hurst" and up popped this little headline "Tracey Emin earned her CBE fair and square" Now when I read something like that, it doesn't fill me with confidence that she did deserve it, quite the reverse. She exhibited her unmade bed and she's an artist? Geeze, my unmade bed beats hers hands down. This is what passes for art these days? If that's art, I'm Mother Theresa.  |

I heard of a museum that had a fire extinguisher standing against a wall and people thought it was an exhibit.

Did the Fire Extinguisher get a Vote though, Baz?... You must have seen/heard the (in)famous 'Bricks' Baz?  You haven't seen Tracy Emin's 'Tent' yet, have you, Netsuke! You'll love it! |
