how many unnamed/uncredited assistants does he have? i can't imagine he really made all these himself.. i know for sure.. but i'd like to know who the craftsmen/women are..

I think that not all of those are new - they span a pretty wide timeline.
His stuff is hit and miss with me, I dig the Last Supper series a lot though

yeah i forgot.. some are from his archive indeed.
well done, damien.
i like the pills and the dots, and the first shark he did. the rest leaves me fairly cold to be honest...

I just love how much BS art critics / sales staff come up with to make a piece of art sound so much more spectacular than it really is.

sotheby's is gonna cash bigtime. any staff that helps selling it beter gets a bonus.
at least their faces tell you so. i find it laughable how they keep a straight happy face while telling so much bollocks.

I quite like the spot paintings, but everything else is just complete shite c'mon.

i do like the marble sculpture, in that it is a pre-existing piece of work... in a few hundred years time there will be a programme all about the restoration of it, after some fool called Damien from Devon carved into it :)

he's "hedgier" than Koons, for those still wondering.

I guess this is what happens when you are a rich, out of touch artist.

The artist Damien Hirst said last night he believed the terrorists responsible for the September 11 attacks "need congratulating" because they achieved "something which nobody would ever have thought possible" on an artistic level.
Hirst, who is no stranger to controversy, said many people would "shy away" from looking at the event as art but he believed the World Trade Centre attack was "kind of like an artwork in its own right".
In an interview, Hirst told BBC News Online: "The thing about 9/11 is that it's kind of an artwork in its own right. It was wicked, but it was devised in this way for this kind of impact. It was devised visually."
Describing the image of the hijacked planes crashing into the twin towers as "visually stunning", he added: "You've got to hand it to them on some level because they've achieved something which nobody would have ever have thought possible, especially to a country as big as America.
"So on one level they kind of need congratulating, which a lot of people shy away from, which is a very dangerous thing."

try working in advertising. It's one thing to polish a diamond skull, but quite another to make a pay-as-you-go telco company look "cool".

i love how they compare damien's work to damien's work. well fuck, compare the shit i do today to the shit i was doing 8 years ago and the new stuff looks incredible. compared to real work though it's all just turds wrapped in gradients.
