There was a fire in a warehouse that destroyed hundreds of examples of
the finest modern British art.

And the bad news is that it was all insured. Charles Saatchi can afford
to go and get the ******s to produce more.


The REALLY bad news is, it will probably mean (or be used as an excuses for)
a hike in insurance premiums.... :~(

This reminds me of something I read a few years back.
Apparently CS owned a work of modern 'art' consisting of a head sculpted
from frozen blood (the artist's own IIRC).

CS's woman (Nigella Lawson [1]) had the builders in to extend the house or
some such - electrical work was included in the plan so guess what
happened to the freezer and the blood....
