The suggestion that some artists get less money for their work because they are women is flimsy to say the least. I go by the old adage that something is worth what someone will pay for it. What I did like about last night's ArtShock was evidence that women artists - Hepworth and Kahlo especially - were eventually gaining their rightful place, albeit long after the art was made.

I had to switch it off half way through because she was doing my head in with her feminist viewpoint.
