British art critic Matthew Collins, who is often credited with helping to launch many YBA's, and modern video and installation art now says:

"We don't live in a great time for art; we live in a time when art is very successful as a leisure activity. Art is very amusing, but within that culture there's still a hierarchy of better and worse. I'm interested in that hierarchy but I recognise that modern art and pre-modern art were very important, and postmodern art is rubbish, really."

Collins has a new TV series on British television that begins next Sunday. Read the whole story in The Observer here.
