SENSATION / LONDON,UK / SEPTEMBER 16TH / ENT 3
Outrage in the art gallery
Families bereaved by child murderer Myra Hindley reacted with fury
Tuesday (16/9) after being invited to view a portrait of the killer included in the controversial new exhibition at the Royal Academy called simply ‘Sensation’. Organisers of the exhibition claimed that ‘real art is not immortal’ and remained unrepentant about the Hindley portrait, by artist Marcus Harvey, in a show that also includes dismembered limbs and rotting animal carcasses by artist Damien Hirst. However, at the launch party held Tuesday evening, September 16, most celebrity visitors including Stephen Fry defended the protrait.
