Tate Show A Hit

Laughing all the way to the bank! Tate Passé's Damien Hirst retrospective was the most visited solo show and second-most visited show in the gallery's history. The Hirst show recorded 463,087 visitors, only a few thousand less than the Matisse Picasso exhibition in 2002 (CLICK). At £14 a visitor, that is big money, worthy of Moneybags himself. Recession? What recession? There are still thousands of punters in London with more money than sense.
