Scarfe on Art

on BBC Two England

Cartoonist Gerald Scarfe takes another sharp, satirical look at today's society.
The canvas might cost you £17, the paints E4. So what makes a work of art worth up to Z49 million? Scarfe discovers a dangerous world where real talent for art mixes with real talent for making money. He meets the artist who has a six-year waiting list for pictures he hasn't yet painted; and the copyist who paints a Gauguin just like the one in your bank vault. And he tries to sell a genuine Picasso, worth
Z500,000, on the park railings - with unexpected results. Producer Gerald Scarfe
Executive producer Edward Mirzoeff
