...that had been stripped by looters to their last light bulb. Even as the other cities toppled--first Kirkuk, then Mosul--there were still people in Iraq who had nothing to do but fight and look for a chance to ambush a soldier with his guard down. From the comfort of their living rooms, Americans watched NBC broadcast a fire fight outside Baghdad so fierce that one wounded soldier was still firing from his stretcher, and the chaplain had to grab a rifle.

Hirst's spotted Mini is roaring down the stairs as in a scene from The Italian Job. The staircase takes you to Hirst's sliced-up bovines, Some Comfort Gained from the Acceptance of the Inherent Lies in Everything, brooded over by Ron Mueck's London Angel. A corridor, giving a distant view of the shark, leads to the double-height circular conference room, now staffed with Saatchi icons. Offices that once held bureaucrats - each with its own unique...
