Art critics have criticised the Institute of Contemporary Art for hosting an exhibition of pictures of Britney Spears - presumably all the art critics are Christina fans.
Defending the exhibition, which includes shots taken by top fashion snappers like David LaChappelle and Herb Ritts plus her famous Rolling Stone magazine frontpage and a snap of her controversial kiss with Madonna at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards, a spokesman for BMG - who hired the gallery for the private exhibition - told reporters: "It is the most fitting place in London for a Britney Spears exhibition - the ICA has a history of exhibiting popular art and photography. This is a major exhibition and the ICA is well known for being up to date, edgy and cool."
