"What's really important in art is not so much impact, as resonance," claims Robert Hughes. Twenty four years after making iconic arts series The Shock of the New, he returns with this scathing appraisal of contemporary art. Comparing the sensationalist pieces of today's "art business" with the more enduring works he admires, he visits London's Saatchi Gallery, and interviews artists including David Hockney and Paula Rego.
