A few days after I arrived at the RCA I asked my rather gruff personal tutor if he was at all interested in getting Jay Jopling or Charles Saatchi to chat to the students about the beginning of the YBA movement. The tutor scoffed… these men were irrelevant dinosaurs. The RCA had ‘no interest in commercial galleries’.
Of course I took the dinosaur comment rather personally… I am older than Jay. If they are dinosaurs. I’m certainly a dinosaur. I crept away and had a little cry.
Then I stopped crying. I set about making me… my dinosaur in just about everything I could lay my hands on.
This dinosaur isn’t going extinct any time soon.
The conversation has since been contested by the tutor.
