Stephen Bayley...a self-styled cultural critic & author writing in the Daily Telegraph, manages to deliver a slur on The Affordable Art Fairs and all aspirant artist throughout the entire world. It would be nice if The POL Team could offer a robust rebuff.
He sees £800 for an artwork of Michelle Dovey's as a dreadful price for middle-class junk as purchased by Mrs Milliband for her husband David. Further that politicians should not mess with art...
