Comment(s): This scarce announcement for the Crude Oils show features an image of Kate Moss by Bansky in the manner of Andy Warhol. Crude Oils was an “exhibition of remixed masterpieces, vandalized oil paintings, and vermin” which ran from October 14th to the 24th in a small shop at 100 Westbourne Grove, London. Admission was free – if you could stand the thought of sharing the gallery space accompanied by around 200 live black rats. Environmental health officers came out and checked the show and found everything to be in order despite the protests from other businesses nearby.
