I think you guys might be underestimating how impressive the "Hanging Heart" is in real life.
http://www.forbes.com/collecting…
Made of stainless steel, painstakingly coated with layers and layers of pink paint for an astonishing finish, ''Hanging Heart'' is nine feet tall, weighs 3,500 pounds and yet somehow manages to appear weightless. Koons, a former Wall Street commodities trader, made five of these works each in a different color, one of which belongs to Christie's owner Francois Pinault.
- eh. so it's heavy, but appears weightless. it's still not creative or makes the viewer think. it's just large.********

Hirst is such the genius. But yeah, as far as popular artist go, Lucien is by far the most valuable for what means and has meant. Lucien performs the balancing act of destroying and reconstructing in his pieces. Hirst only destroys. Both my favorites.
