Which reminds me,have they found Minnie Caldwell's cat yet?

It had a name you know, did our Bobby.

Extract from Wiki.

Minnie moved from 15 Jubilee Terrace to No 5 Coronation Street, where she lived with her cat, Bobby. Bobby, an orange tabby, was played by many cats over the years, and a storyline was created to explain the obvious differences in appearance: Bobby went missing in 1968, and so Minnie adopted a new cat which she named Bobby.

I like it, very positive, and if it evokes a reaction... well isn't that the point of art? Though I'd prefer to see reaction to the work rather than the artist.
I've seen plenty of art in St Pancrass station, the embracing couple sculpture has a frieze on the plinth that's interesting but not easy to understand. The John Betjeman statue is fantastic and leads one to follow his gaze to the roof, which is probably the finest piece of art there. I think this latest piece replaces a spinning spaceship like thing that was equally liked and loathed. I couldn't make my mind up and I expect the artist would have been happy with that.
St Pancrass is IMO the finest London station (Not just because it's where the Derby trains arrive at and leave from) I welcome those things that make it more than just a point on a journey.

Philip Larkin is hurrying to catch his train as a statue at Hull Paragon Interchange, are there plans for a statue of Sir Nigel at King's Cross?

Here is another "work of art" Spencer Tunick

"Tunick's philosophy is that "individuals en masse, without their clothing, grouped together, metamorphose into a new shape. The bodies extend into and upon the landscape like a substance. These grouped masses which do not underscore sexuality become abstractions that challenge or reconfigure one's views of nudity and privacy"

looks to me just load of blue and purple dudes & gals

Rather bizarre, he got hundreds of people to pose naked in Hull, why blue? Did he take his own clothes off?

You don't have to go all the way to france to find people sticking modern stuff to historic sites and 'spoiling' the view.....

Blimey? I must be well out of touch - I thought this was as bad as it gets...

[mercalia]

seems like she is now into doing postage stamps - about her level I think

how much for one of her works art? - £1.55, sounds about right. but the £/cm2 is rather high
