Mega-exhibitions and austerity lead to inequality of opportunity, says study
In recent years the V&A has attracted record crowds to its exhibitions about musicians such as Pink Floyd and David Bowie, while the Tate Modern has staged hugely popular Picasso and Modigliani shows.
But a report by the London School of Economics warns that the trend of putting on safer exhibitions by established artists to guarantee high visitor numbers and offset a decline in state funding could make it even harder for experimental and minority artists to break through.
