Does anyone know where Rolf Harris's portrait of Queen Elizabeth II ended up - or if we will ever see it (in any form) in the future?

This raises an interesting question. Does the artistic quality of a piece of art diminish because the artist has been convicted of this kind of crime or should it be judged on its own merits? What about art from the past that was produced by questionable people? Why do we continue to listen to music produced by Phil Spector or composed by Wagner?

Had to laugh the other day a portrait by Rolf Harris was valued at fifty thousand quid by one of the experts on the antiques roadshow bet it isnt' worth much now .

To destroy it is understandable but is that a reaction to the painting on its merit? No. It is another was of showing disapproval of Rolf Harris. He is facing jail and that is the surest way of showing society's disapproval.

If the Queen feels she ought to have it destroyed that is a matter for her.

It has probably been put somewhere in the cellars of Buck House or whatever other place of residence the Queen had chosen to hang it.

I think that's a really good picture, it shows her with a happy smile on her face. Which moron made it "disappear" I wonder? Phil the Greek maybe.

caravaggio picked fights and killed people for fun, hmm but he was a less worse painter of images than rolf. the queen portrait was offered and refused by the npg dunno where it ended up.

poetry is the only true art form.

Heading for the rouges gallery.

According to my link to a Mail story it has now vanished. Lets hope it stays vanished. No decent person will want to look at it.
