Concept Art and Maggie Thatcher

http://www.guardian.co.uk/artanddesign/2009/feb/21/marcus-harvey-margaret-thatcher

When I saw the Sensations Exhibition in 1992, I took away three artist's names; the ubiquitous Hirst and Emnin, but most importantly to me Marcus Harvey. Even now I adore "Like what you see? Call me" and think he is one of the better contentious British Concept artists, tackling wonderful issues of media exposure, the objectification of women and now politics. Given that these are the the three things I get loquacious about, you can see why I like him!
