Visual Art Layoffs at Hirst Inc.

Even Damien Hirst has to make cuts. (Via Artsjournal.)
Is Chihuly Inc. next? The Koons factory? What is this world coming to?
At least Murakami is on an expansionist streak.

The only good thing about the Chihuly phenomenon is the way it depresses the price on glass smoking paraphernalia.

Dale Chihuly is banal. He is the Thomas Kinkade of glass-blowing. That's only a slight exaggeration.

Good God, that's a lot of Chihuly!
He will never run out of cash until he has staged his last installation in the last botanical garden on Earth. And even then, he's clever enough to start over again with planetariums, then zoos, until finally he works out a gig with McDonald's. He's not a cash cow, he's a cash manatee, a cash pachyderm, a cash .... you get the idea.

I actually do kind of like this one, although it reminds me a bit too much of a ginormous version of those gawd-awful barbell shaped plastic margarita cups you see people wandering with up-and-down the Vegas strip.

Guys, guys. Let's not lose focus here. Hirst is a WAY bigger wanker than Chihuly, despite his relative youth. And anyone who works for him deserves to lose her job.

Chihuly aside, if you are ever in Indy, check out the museum, especially if you have kids in tow. It's actually a pretty cool museum.
