A Damien Hirst for £35

Want to buy a work of art for less than £1,000? A Damien Hirst picture could cost you just £35. The Royal College of Art's annual Secret show offers punters the chance to buy any of its 2,700 postcard-size pictures, such as this painterly cow's head, for just £35. A number of these are by famous artists - you just don't know which until you've bought it, since signatures are only on the back. You may get the work of a humble RCA student or find yourself with a Damien Hirst, Tracey Emin or Peter Blake (all contributors to the 2005 show) and your little oblong of card could be worth thousands.
