FT Arts
  • Contemporary British art and the cult of celebrity Oct 29, 2010 - 6:00 pm
  • It's been a big week for contemporary British art. First the opening of the British Art Show 7 in Nottingham, then the second instalment of Newspeak at the Saatchi Gallery in London. To round it off, on Sunday Channel 4 will show “Modern Times”, the fifth in its series The Genius of Britain, this time presented by Janet Street-Porter.

    Peter Aspden, FT arts writer, and John Lloyd, FT television columnist, discuss art and celebrity: Charles Saatchi, Damien Hirst and the inimitable Janet Street-Porter.

    FT art critic Jackie Wullschlager reports on the British Art Show. Does it really represent the art of the nation?

    Produced by Griselda Murray Brown
