Wearing Apologizes For Cover Art

Turner Prize winner Gillian Wearing was one of several artists invited to design a cover this week for the front page of The Guardian’s tabloid section. “To illustrate an article on the new reality game shows, her front cover consisted merely of the three words “Fuck Cilla Black” [Black hosts a reality show] in black felt tip pen surrounded by white space. The cover provoked more than 200 complaints,” and today Wearing apologized.
