Talking of taste, remember the Tate (before Tate Modern) finding a smelly old cheese sandwich down the side of one of its ‘works of art’. They had to call the artist to see if it was part of the ‘orginal’. Said artist didn’t know anything about it.
Jeeze... people will be tying ribbons to trees next and calling it art... when we know it’s just a load of old tat :-)
