Saatchi googol

A crowd for the opening: Of 100 metres that Monday, 21,000, most
visitors paying 8.50, filing past the Damien Hurst version Mini,
nodding catnaps en route with Duane Hanson’s Traveller. The Tate
Modern was hardly struggling with 100,000 visitors predictably going
for the Beckmann show. The final Aztec day at the Royal Academy
counted over 7,000 visitors before they bid it farewell to Berlin.
What is a googol? Cough, cough, Major Ingram is in the wrong game.
