		More controversy seems, literally, to be rising from the ashes of the Momart fire, with the recent rumpus surrounding a work of art made by a young, Bournemouth-based artist using the debris salvaged from the site of the blaze which, on 23 May, devastated works by many of the UK's leading artists.
		Stuart Semple's "RIP YBA" consists of lumps of melted metal and what may or may not be a scrap of Tracey Emin's tent, housed in eight perspex boxes which have been painted and embellished with collaged reproductions by the 23-year old artist.
		Driven by what he describes as " a personal mission of instant archaeology", Mr Geller visited the site "with a shovel and a roll of garden bin-liners" where he claims he found no security in evidence and was directed by the site foreman to help himself to whatever he could find.

		Nearly $100 million worth of irreplaceable modern art was recently destroyed as an uncontrollable fire blazed for two straight days, completely leveling the warehouse in which the artwork was stored.
		To date, Momart has maintained an impeccable reputation as a professional and responsible business, but this catastrophe has caused some to raise questions.
		Whether any art should have been stored there at all will likely be determined by the details of the property lease and if there were any limits set for the activities performed or equipment used by the other leaseholders in the industrial park.
