When Tribal Art Meets McDonalds 
Now, this is some really funny stuff two artists from England have produced: "In a darkened, hushed hall, pools of light illuminate painted wooden masks, stuck through with fetish nails, decorated with shells and goats' heads. They appear authentic until you notice the McDonald's logo everywhere. A burger as a primeval deity; a cult statue with the evil clown face of Ronald McDonald", reports The Guardian. And also The Telegraph. Charles Saatchi, the most influential collector of modern art in Britain, paid £1 million for the sculpures. Too bad the real tribal artist didn't have the idea!
The objects of the gallery can be seen online hat the web page of the White Cube Gallery, London.
