ING Top Prize

Believe it or not, ING Commercial Banking awarded this "sculpture" Divided Self IV by Owen Bullet its top prize of £5,000 (CLICK). I can't imagine anyone in his right mind calling this rubbish "art", let alone awarding it a prize. What is even more amazing is that The Discerning Eye - a misnomer to anyone who appreciates art - is a registered charity with the aim of encouraging a wider understanding and appreciation of the visual arts! Gimme strength! The exhibition wastes space at the Mall Galleries in London until 25 November, admission free (CLICK).
