How To Really Waste Money
To me, Picasso is the world’s overrated and overpriced artist, so I greet the news that the most expensive painting ever sold at public auction is to be exhibited at the Tate Modern with total indifference.
Whoever bought this painting really wasted his money. I would say that, that is his affair and it probably is. But who’s to know who the owner is and he could be one of the world’s real nasty people.
To me art should be public and available to all. That is why I like public sculpture, such as Temenos and the better attempts to do something positive with the Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square.
The Anonymous Widower 
I have really enjoys the installation art which has been in city centres recently – cows, lambanas and rhinos. I loved the spider thing in Liverpool in its year of culture, and would have loved to have gone down there, but huge crowds and wheelchairs arent a good combination.
