An Inclusive Litany

12/17/01

Having mistaken an installation by artist Damien Hirst for rubbish, a cleaner cleared away the pile of beer bottles, coffee cups and overflowing ashtrays that had been left in London's Eyestorm Gallery. Shocked gallery owners, possibly motivated by the six-figure sum that the work was expected to fetch, immediately set about to put it back together again based on "records of how it had looked."
