      <![CDATA[I swear the shark in the Met in NYC has disintegrated considerably since they installed it a while back. I would like to be there when the fish wire (or whatever) cuts through the flesh and the corpse crashes to the bottom. Would it just go flat? would a huge cloud of filth spew out of his mouth? These are the kind of things I think of when I look at it.<br />
<br />
But to me, this is one of those things where one is enough. When you start going through the the whole bestiaria one by own and add some golden hooves, your just milking it, if you will.

      <![CDATA[I use to be kind of dubious towards Hirst and his ilk but than I came around to the realization that I like the fact that these ladies and gentlemen are tricking really rich people in to buying essentialy useless objects for ridiculous amounts of money. Than I realised that all Art is essentialy lacking in any utility and realized I love Art even more because of that, it's like some crazy magic trick.<br />
 Plus, I was in London last fall and visited the Tate and I just have to say, unexpectdly, a great white shark in a vitrine in formaldehyde is pretty fucking awesome.

      <![CDATA[1) Hirst bought a significant portion of his own art at the Sotheby's auction through a firm that he and some co-financiers set up.  He is himself responsible for the inflated price of his own artwork.<br />
<br />
2)  There are two Hirst exhibits in Denver now and they are both quite wonderful.  I know popular opinion dictates that Hirst is a devil, but I love his work.

      <![CDATA[His works are pretty interesting comments on the luxuries of the uber-wealthy, their valuing of a stinking corpse in formaldehyde if it's lined with gold and comes with an eight-figure price tag.  Death is one thing - decay, anonymity, being turned back into prima materia - and life is another - locked in a cycle with each other, life grows out of and feeds off death, but must in turn be consumed by death.  Formaldehyde cuts out the cycle, turns the natural into zombie-like artificial undead that will never fully return to nature.<br />
<br />
Likewise, the uber-wealthy, especially the elderly rich NYers who are Sotheby's target customer group, jewel-bedecked and artificially preserved through miracles of modern medicine, identify quite strongly with this work.
