Letter: What graced Britain should go to California

Sir: May I support the hopes of most men and (I expect) all women that the Getty Museum succeeds in its bid for Canova's oleaginous and unoriginal Three Graces. In 50 years, this will certainly be cluttering up the basement of any museum unfortunate enough to acquire it.

Yours faithfully,
