Excellent article by Will Self on the Tate Modern
The only point I'm not sure about is when he says galleries are now 'otiose' (good word!) because of modern reproductions of art works.
"... if they’re capable of reproduction, what need is there for a unique place, time and space in which to display them?"
Is looking at tiny pixels of a Rembrandt painting on your smartphone really equal to seeing it in real life?
