London cops break into gallery to rescue lifelike art installation
Lazarides, who helped popularize street and underground art in the UK through his working association with Banksy, said that employee Hannah Blakemore"had just locked up and gone upstairs to make a cup of tea. She came down to find the door off its hinges and two confused police officers!"
Blakemore said the officers had been told that"the woman here has not been moving for the last two hours" and they suspected"a heart attack or she's overdosed." Obviously a little humiliated to realize that they had rushed to rescue an inanimate object, the police scolded Blakemore for having a sculpture that looked so lifelike."The work is to provoke and it's definitely achieving that," she added.has caused a kerfuffle.
He added:"The beige brigade were not impressed we had one batty old fruit screaming 'I don't like it, I don't like it'."
