Tracy
Emin's pivotal Brit Art metaphor of unfettered sauciness in the great outdoors
has been burnt to a cinder, sources say. The tent, which had the names of all
Emin's lovers embroidered throughout the work, was part of Charles Saatchi's Brit
Art "masterpiece" collection which has been burned to a frazzle. Charles
Saatchi is being urged to put on display the insurance claim form for the loss
which could itself turn into a work of art in due course. The original, unembroided,
tent, costs £39.99 at all good outdoor stores. It is believed Saatchi paid
one kerchillion dollars for the work. |
