HELL hath no fury
Like a chapman spurned,
So come see the second,
'Cos the first one burned.

The show, at the White Cube gallery in Mayfair, is called If Hitler Had Been a Hippy How Happy Would We Be, drawing on the joke that the Second World War and the Holocaust might not have happened if Hitler had been more fulfilled as a painter.
