I know lots of his ‘painters’ they are mainly on nearish minimum wage. His new studio here in stroud is absolutely huge, it is a factory on an industrial estate. As I’ve mentioned before I nearly ran him over once, stepped out in front of my car. Had I have not been consentrating there would be no dots.

No one think it’s just a publicity stunt then?? You know just to bring back into the public frame the Hipnonimouse name “Hurst”

Me thinks it is just that.

Imagine how much you would’ve got for your car as Hirst’s final piece…

The Arts are not a waste of money though. As humans we need uplifting and suchlike. It would be a very drab and depressing world without the Arts… Music and literature are included in that obviously.

^^ That Damien Hurst fellas good looking lad int he ^^

Coloured dots on some paper!

Dammit, I was doing this kind of stuff with stickers in infant school! If only I had realised it was valuable art and kept it!
You should have seen what I could do with black material and a load of fuzzy felt!

Damian Hurst

Geoff’s brother?

Really Dez? You must be excellent at parties or to be trapped in a lift with.

I came very close to buying one of Hirst’s ‘Spin Paintings’ It was around £15k at the time, I think they are selling for £500,000 now.

I’m relived I didn’t buy it in the end as my ex wife would have demanded half of it, so there was a silver lining. 😀

Ahh, but with the way you wrote it, the final part of your sentence was a statement not an opinion.

Now, if, rather than saying

then you would have had a valid point. You didn’t so you don’t.

Duchamp was wrong:
Something created is art if anyone considers it to be so – the view of the person who created it is irrelevant. 😀

It’s the only definition that works, btw. 🙂

Then there are 33,000 reasons that Hirst pics is art.

FTFY – I do like careful artistic use of punctuation (or lack of it).

I think abstract art can be utterly brilliant, but those Hirst works are not.

That comes of someone taking a naive literalistic view of howsyourdad1 typographical artworks. His work is somewhat more subtle than that, and a study of his oeuvre would had led to a realisation that the meta-physic of the whole is essentially coming from a non deterministic viewpoint where the concept of fact is intrinsically facile.

Maybe be the clue to the thief is within the picture.

Just join up the dots !

I like them. But i do tend to lean toward geometric artworks.
