Private Eye: The First 50 Years. Art galleries are rarely the place to find comedy, yet a new exhibition at the V&A in London offers giggles aplenty, as it looks back at the first 50 years of satirical magazine, Private Eye... The exhibition, which opens tomorrow, focuses especially on the cartoon art within the magazine, a key element of the publication from the beginning. "It's one of the things about Private Eye that is often overlooked," said editor Ian Hislop at the press view this morning. "In all the talk about the journalism, the trouble and the courts and the writs, people often forget that every fortnight Private Eye presents about 25 beautifully drawn jokes, and the cartoonists will tell you that, essentially, is why people buy Private Eye. " Cluff, 1990 Michael Heath Hislop sees the Private Eye cartoonists as part of a great history of British satirical art stretching back to Hogarth.
