On the cheap

To a fine charitable art exhibition at the offices of Edwin Coe in Lincoln's Inn, where Obiter was told to keep an eye out for some of the artists who were in attendance.

One was hard to miss, in a hot pink patterned shirt, and he proceeded to explain the chief difference between hanging paintings in law firms rather than galleries: 'In law firms, the art must be conservative and cheap', he said.

The Rocky Horror photographs (above) did not strike Obiter as conservative until it was explained by one Edwin Coe lawyer that the picture represented a secretary-partner relationship.

How run-of-the-mill.
