Strange that, it's a hot topic and there was a flaming midia frenzy about
it. Mostly to express ridicule, but still...

The best reaction I saw to this was a Brookes cartoon in the Metro. It
showed one of Saatchi's employees phoning up Damien Hirst and asking if he
still had the other half of the cow!

Some Saatchi gallery people were advertising outside the Shell

Well, you know those Midianites - they get all excited and fussy about
insignificant things all the time...

Never heard of Emin until the reference to the insurance-"accident" (wink,
wink, nudge, nudge) fire was posted - she must be Emin Em's sister, right?

I can see why Tracy Emin is annoyed at media reactions, over and
above her being annoyed about most things all the time. She's a
sort of artistic Julie Burchill, using the modern definition of
"artistic" of course. But I did think, with the modern conceptual art,
if the art catches fire and is destroyed, you've still got the concept.
Precisely who owns the concept may be a bit trickier to establish,
and if the rule put in a few years ago that whenever a work of art is
sold for an eye-watering amount of money, the starving artist gets
a small slice of the pie, still applies, it probably doesn't apply to
incinerated art. So Ms Emin may have missed out on a possible
big payday when Mr Saatchi needed to liquidate, if he ever did.

The best I've heard on it (i dont' usually watch the news) was an art
critic or someone said that the fire was a judgement from God on art.

I rather doubt the problem for Tracey is that direct...once she's sold the
work that's it financially
OTOH it took her months of hand sewing to create the tent in the first
place, and probably months of digging through strongly emotional
memories...it then became known as her most famous work...the fact that it
has ceased to exist probably hurts a lot...I would also doubt she'd even
consider making a replacement...that would be like an author rewriting a
book from scratch because all the existing copies have been destroyed...it
would be all the work, none of the fun and creativity, and in most cases
it simply isn't going to happen
who owns the concept is straightforward in artistic terms...the original
artist...anyone later copy made by anyone else is plagiarism not art

I still hold that the place must have been torched by a fanatical band
of art lovers.

That's like Spike Milligan's remark about the De La Warr Pavilion in
Bexhill. It was bombed during WWII, and Millligan speculated that the plane
was sponsored by the Royal Institute Of British Architects, with Hugh Casson
piloting and John Betjeman as the bomb-aimer.

This is just a wild guess you understand, but was there a font name

I believe the police think that someone set a fire at the other end of
the block of storage to destroy evidence of a robbery of something
completely different, and it spread along to the Brit-Art as fire
does.

And I did a little checking, to wit, I found
http://www.axa-nordstern-art.co.uk/cw/law/law2003/buyingart.html
"An additional artist's "resale right" (droit de suite), which already
exists in continental Europe, is to be brought into force by all
Member States before 1st January 2006. It is intended to ensure
that authors of graphic and plastic works of art share in the
economic success of their original works of art. The right extends
to those entitled to the artist's estate after their death and extends
to all acts of resale, save where affected directly between persons
acting in their private capacity without participation from an art
market professional. Article 4 of the Directive sets out a rating
system for the royalties to be paid to the artist based on a
percentage of the sale price. The royalty is payable by the seller to
the artist or the artist's estate. The UK has not yet adopted this
system."
Which surprised me, since I thought I'd heard several years ago
that (1) "Because this law is about to be enacted, the European art
will collapse, nothing will be sold in London any more, it'll all go to
New York where ripping off the artisan is still acceptable just as it
should be", and, a little later, (2) "Although this law has been
enacted, the European art market has not collapsed, things are
still being sold in London, it hasn't all gone to New York etc etc."
Perhaps the latter part was in the context of art dealing in
continental Europe. If this only has to kick in by 2006, then I'm
surprised that the commentator I first heard was so certain of an
immediate apocalypse - as I say, several years ago.
Possibly "graphic and plastic works of art" needs clarification;
evidently, it refers to objects whose artistic identity is of the visual
and/or concrete sort, but not necessarily made of plastic (or of
concrete). For some of the conceptual stuff, it might be a stretch,
e.g. that business of rigging your lights to switch off and on
randomly. Like many other people, I have one like that, and I've
been meaning to... well, not put it up for auction, anyway.

Now that I've seen the article, I get the original joke. I didn't
much care for the Pompidou either...any leads? ; )
