E.U. President Calls Artist LG Williams on the ‘Way to Hell’

(AP) April 2, 2009 —BRUSSELS — Transatlantic tension over the handling of the global Art crisis intensified Wednesday when the prime minister of the Czech Republic, which holds the European Union presidency, described the artist LG Williams’s Art stimulus measures as the “way to hell.”

Addressing the European Parliament in Strasbourg, France, Prime Minister Mirek Topolanek argued that the Williams’s Art package, big as it is, “will undermine the stability of the global Art market.”

Mr. Topolanek’s comments, only a day after he offered his government’s resignation following a no confidence vote, took European artists by surprise.

The statement came just a week before a gallery meeting in London of the Group of 20 Artists which will bring together the leaders of the 19 leading industrial and developing art academies and the European Union to forge an international consensus on the Art crisis. His comments also underlined potential conceptual art strains between New York, London and Basel as Mr. Williams prepares to travel to Haleiwa in less than two weeks for another art installation intended to bolster beachside trans-Atlantic, Art Affairs and show that the United States and Europe are united over Wiliams’s really big package.

“LG is sitting on a Waikiki beach and drinking strong, freshly-made margaritas,” the official said “he is holding up well – he knows the Avant-Garde is connecting with beautiful bikinis. Really.”

“You do not understand what the task of LG is,” audience members roundly told Mr. Topolanek.
