Robert Hughes
August 7 2012
Sad to read that Robert Hughes, the great art critic and art historian, has died. They always say that nobody ever builds a statue to a critic - but Hughes deserves one, if only for being one of the few influential people in the art world to dare say, 'this Emperor has no clothes'. Here he is with Jeff Koons.
