Art Business News, May, 2004
* It seems British artist Jack Vettriano has some fans at the Guardian newspaper. In a recent editorial, the paper chastised galleries such as the Tate Modern and the Scottish Gallery of Modern Art for failing to pay serious attention to Vettriano's works since he is known as a "popular" artist.
After pointing out that the Tate ranked a meager 178th on the Art Newspaper's 2003 global survey of visitors to galleries, it asked: "If the National Theatre can reinvent itself by staging popular musicals and also populist shows like 'Jerry Springer--The Opera,' then why cannot our galleries do likewise?"
