The artist Glenn Brown made a name for himself (and found a little notoriety too) by "borrowing" visuals from art history and popular culture, then embellishing them with his own imagery. Nominated for the Turner Prize in 2000, he is now represented by The Gagosian Gallery, where his works sell for hundreds of thousands of pounds.
But the keen-eyed will also find his work selling through
The Tate Modern's shop at a far more reasonable £350, a sum which will buy you a large(ish) Lambda photographic print titled "For JP Sartre 2009". Surrealism meets existentialism, if you like.
