Review:

If any paintings are a signifier of the over-priced, over-hyped froth & vacuity of contemporary art today these are they.

Seven large paintings - and nothing to distinguish between any of them. I couldn't be certain but they have the feeling that 
many assistants were burning the candle at both ends to produce them?

The fool who bought one for 2.4 million quid must be having some sleepless nights at the moment.
