The Face of the Tate

I take it you've all seen yesterday's grim news that Southwark Council has approved plans for the Tate Modern extension as envisaged by Swiss architects Herzog and de Meuron. More space for overpriced elephant dung, helter-skelters and other "contemporary-art" rubbish. But have you noticed that monstrous Easter-Island face leering down at the tasteless punters as they surge into the new building? Could it be a portrait of that doyen of bad taste Sir Nicholas Serota?
