Again, all of Hearst
 

Damien Hirst, one of the most wealthy and popular contemporary British artists, praised the box of pencils, which is part of the installation "Pharmacy" ( "Pharmacy"), half a million pounds. It was the sum Hurst assess damage from theft of pencils, which made a 17-year-old boy at the exhibition held in the Tate, said The Independent. The entire installation, according to Hirst, worth 10 million pounds.
The young man who committed the theft - an old acquaintance of Hurst. His name is Kartreyn (Cartrain), he deals with graffiti and collages. In November 2008, Hearst's lawyers have managed to get Kartreyn withdrew from the market through the internet gallery of collages, which used picture of a diamond skull "For the love of God," one of the most famous works of Hirst and the most expensive (it costs $ 100 million). Teenager sold his collages on 65 pounds apiece, and his obligation not only to remove them from the catalog, but also to give the money: otherwise he threatened to court.
In July 2009 Kartreyn had stolen a box of pencils from Faber Castell occupies an entire room in the Tate installation "Pharmacy". The next day he drew a parody of a poster with a photograph of pencils. In a photograph of the signature stated: "I demand the return of the works Damien Hirst and DACS [Design and Artists Copyright Society, Society for the Protection of copyright of artists and designers] in return for pencils safe and sound ... If Hearst until 31 July did not do it, then pencils are sharpened. He warned. "
A few weeks in the house was searched Kartreyna: it made the department to find works of art from Scotland Yard. The youth was arrested but later released him on bail.
Installation "Pharmacy", which was shown in the Tate as part of the exhibition Classified, belongs to the gallery since 1996.

This is still a big question who is who and what stole ... I pasted blestyashkami that the skull is very similar to other work.

Theater, and more!
I am sure that this boy is in collusion with Hurst. They simply act out the play - benefits everyone. Hirst - many dutoy fame and money. The boy - less fame and less money. I would not be surprised if such patronage it in ten years pereplyunet teacher.

Nobody knows: they happen to family?

Method known and commonplace - inflated artificial scandals that the press was writing. Not interesting and as old as the advertising world.

For Hirst - it's too clever!

Morrissey advised Hirst shove his head in a bag
 

Former leader of The Smiths Steven Patrick Morrissey said he believes the methods of his compatriot, a conceptual artist Damien Hirst unacceptable. In an interview with Interview magazine, musician invited Hirst "bury his head in a sack."

Particular outrage Morrissey was the fact that to create his works the artist uses the carcasses, tissues and body parts of dead animals. For example, in a series of works by Hirst were used dead pigs, sharks and bulls, preserved in formaldehyde. Also at the exhibitions a Briton could see the glass containers filled with rotting meat animals.

According to Morrissey, who is a staunch vegetarian, Hirst is not engaged in art, and punching the strange and outrageous objects that somehow enjoyed incredible popularity among lovers of contemporary art.

Methods of making the work of Damien Hirst has repeatedly been criticized. Animal-welfare advocates who are demanding a regular basis to ban the artist to use for creativity, carved pig, cow brains, insects, and so on.

Winter 2009 Hearst promised that he would no longer preserve the animals. Either way, they created earlier objects using dead animals can still be seen in the various exhibition halls.
