John Furnival writes a personal note on the top of a review article of the Sensations exhibition at the Royal Academy. The reviewer states, "Tom Phillips showed skulls at the Dulwich Gallery last year, and though they were not as gory as Marc Quinn's cranial efforts at the Sensation show, the availability of a comparison of the work of a grand old man and an Academician to boot, and the oh-so new offering of the anti-Academician tendency was telling. The theme of the body as the surprising temple of the spiritual is perennial and inexhaustible. But the new wave is adding very little, even in terms of style. The forms they are using have already been plundered, and have had the surprise knocked out of them." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
