Until the debate identifies what a ‘great’ artist actually is the question as to why there has not been a British ‘great’ artist is fatuous – even irrelevant.

Hi Francis, happily this conference is streaming online for the public to see and they are also welcome to come to the gallery on the day and join in too. It’s even free!

The debate is on facebook as well: http://www.facebook.com/gbartdebate

And I’d love to hear your responses to the GBAD questions, which are available under the ‘Questions’ tab on this site.
