London Pictures

To complete a hat trick of dire "art" shows opening today, I bring you news that all three White Cube galleries in London - Bermondsey, Mason's Yard and Hoxton Square - have unleashed the fruits of Gilbert & George's crime spree across the metropolis: London Pictures (title link). The odd couple spent years stealing 3,712 newspaper billboard posters, which they couldn't obtain honestly, and finally turned them into 292 pictures (CLICK). They must be in good with the Met. Police. I wonder what Chinese punters will make of all this in the Hong Kong branch of White Cube.

Thanks for the tip. I had noticed the Telegraph slide show, but hadn't taken a closer look. It all depends on whether I can find an eye-catching graphic.
