A Petersfield landmark is on the verge of winning the Turner Prize.
The Market Inn, which has been boarded up for as long as anyone can remember, has been nominated for the prestigious annual art farce.
"Some people might think that old rundown pub is simply an eyesore in the middle of a quaint market town – but it’s really art," said Andi Warthol, of the Turner organising committee.
"The way it looms on the edge of an otherwise prosperous market square symbolises the potential economic decline that possibly awaits us all.
"The rusting corrugated sheets in the windows and doors represent a blocking out of the light of life; they’re a grim comment on the daunting prospects for a world on the edge of its very extinction.
"The Market Inn has become a poignant reminder of the fragility of the western world’s commerciality - it shows our entire way of life hanging by a rotting thread."
Owner of the Market Inn, Monty Opoly - who owns several other thriving pubs in the immediate vicinity - said: "That’s capitalism folks!"
