Saatchis swoop for Fairy Art

NECTAR AND VENOM, the debut exhibition of art by The Good Fairy, was the scene of near riots as top ad brothers Paul and Derek Satchel tried to buy up the lot to place in their swanky West London gallery, The Big Empty White Box.

"It’s bloody well not going there," said the Good Fairy quietly as she raked in the cash.

The stunning exhibition has split the art world and divided the world of art, but ordinary folk loved it (see What the People Say).

Residents in N16 had tried to block the exhibition, which ran from 11 to 24 September, when it emerged that a whole new arts complex would be built.

"There’s been an unimaginable amount of Lottery money going into Hackney," said Diego Brown from a donkey sanctuary on the South coast. "We were lucky enough to get hold of some and get ‘GuggN16’ built in just under two days. It took the pharoahs most of their summer holidays to build the pyramids and they had cheap seasonal workers coming from Central America to help. It just goes to show what you can do if you really try."

There were harsh words from Sunday Telegraff art critic Brown Sewer (right), who said: "If my friend Gerald had done this on the carpet I would have sauteed him in garlic butter. I don’t really like art anyway, I just like going on the radio and sounding like a toff."
