Some of Britain's leading modern artists are waiting to hear if their works have been destroyed in a warehouse fire. Classics by Damien Hirst and Tracey Emin are among those believed to have gone up in smoke. Many are owned by leading collector Charles Saatchi who is said to be "devastated".
The fire was at a warehouse in Leyton, east London, belonging to one of the country's leading art handlers and storers, Momart.
