Royal wedding: Bob and Roberta Smith's commemorative artwork | Culture | The Observer

Royal wedding: Bob and Roberta Smith's commemorative artwork | Culture | The Observer: "Of all the cultural figures we approached to pay tribute to the royal wedding, Bob and Roberta Smith chose arguably the most abstract approach. The east London-based artist (actually just one person, real name Patrick Brill) has what he calls 'a broken ice-cream van approach' to aesthetics and decided to build sculptures of the bride and groom out of rubbish he found in a skip. To complete the piece, he made himself a part of it, sitting beside his creations with an empty cat-food tin and a felt-tipped sign, begging for money."
