The brothers Grim,
Jake and Dino Chapman, are at it again, writes
Mrs. M. Having the last laugh that
is. Creators of Hell, and now 'F***!!!
Hell' at the White Cube Gallery, this artist duo is giving us more 'hell' for our
millions, with a large dose of condescension for the public thrown in for good
measure. They would like to have the
public banned from their exhibitions. Interesting idea!
Equally, they disdain
critics and museums, declaring the National Gallery as 'full of rubbish.' Apparently, they are quite sensitive about
their nice, middle class upbringing, which doesn’t look good on their CV. They are playing the art game for all it is
worth and finding it’s worth a lot. 'F***!!! Hell' sold for a reported £7.5, establishing their reputation as
the 'must have' darlings of the avant guard. Being naughty boys is big business these days. Otherwise they would probably give it
up.
