This is how we will be remembered, this is why Mr Hirst speaks for the times.
Jackie Wullschlager, art critic for the Financial Times
Damien Hirst broke the Sotheby’s record yesterday with a two-day auction reaching $200.7 million in sales, including $18.4m for “The Golden Calf,” and $272,000 for “Death Wish” - a 6-inch square relief covered in cigarette butts and ash. I guess Warhol was right: “Art is what you can get away with.”
