Prices in the market Demian Hirst supported media hype and false statements. Hermitage did not take any commitment to showing his work "For the love of God" - a platinum skull encrusted with brillyantami? [23.12.07][To the article adds new information: see UPDATE, UPDATE 2]
According to the Independent, in January next year will scandalous book economist Don Thompson, "Shark, stuffed with $ 12 million, dedicated, including analysis of pricing in the market of Demian Hirst works. In the book, in particular, the assumption is that the "sale" brillyantovogo skull "For the love of God," for £ 50 million of a group of investors, which included the artist himself, Hurst was "introduced" the sum of £ 12 million (24%). This conclusion is based on information The Art Newsletter, claims that the work was proposed £ 38 million, however, the author emphasizes the crucial role of media in shaping the price of an artist's work, as well as the mysticism of the possibility of such a deal because, according to the editor of all of the as The Art Newspaper Christine Cruz, "formally skull was not sold." Suspicion causes and persistent refusal to comment on the part of Hurst and his partners in the transaction.
Investigating the mechanisms of art market, Thompson considers the process of sublimation of the price of Hirst's dealers and auction houses. In particular, he noted that when Charles Saatchi who ordered Hirst's famous shark in formaldehyde for £ 50,000, wanted to sell it, the rumor of a follow-up from the Tate Modern offer price of $ 2 million was also noted that Larry Gagosian, Saatchi selected as a mediator the transaction, refused the museum, selling shark manager of the New York hedge fund Steven Cohen for $ 12 million Tate subsequently rejected the whole story.
A similar situation was observed with the work of "the love of God." When she was put on the market for £ 50 million, the news spread throughout the press and led to higher prices in the market Hirst. Two weeks after the news of the "skull" cabinet "Lullaby Spring", containing colored pills, was sold for £ 9.6 million at auction, making Hirst, though not for long, the most expensive contemporary artists. Recognition that the "skull" failed to sell even after all the accompanying advertising (according to even the designers at Lewis), would be tantamount to disaster for the market works by the artist.
Because the fact of "selling" has generated a lot of rumors about what is really the deal never took place, prodyuserami Hurst attempted to smooth over the situation. They announced that one of the conditions of sale of the work was the organization of the owners of a traveling exhibition "skull" on museums in the world for several years. Then the product intended to resell. Nevertheless, none of the museum did not respond to this ad. However, in early October, Bloomberg published an article by John Varoli, who did find the museum, who agreed to show work: "... The skull will be shown as part of an international project of Contemporary Art 20/21 .. [State Hermitage Museum], which starts at the end October - said authorized [Hermitage] Spokesperson Helen Getmanskaya. " Notably, however, that this information was far from reality. According to the participants of Project 20/21, at the time of this writing, no obligation on the demonstration of "skull" Hermitage itself did not take. Moreover, judging from everything, Elena Getmanskaya not make such statements about the "skull". Nevertheless, the news that the Hermitage would like to expose the "skull" in March 2008, obletelo entire western press, hitting the above-mentioned book, Thompson, as well as being able to keep afloat still threatened the market prices Hirst: investors glimmer of hope for the further growth of interest in the artist, as Russian buyers are among the most gullible and generous fans of his work.
Meanwhile, Thompson imposing on the doubts and tseny brillyantov involved in "the love of God." According to Hirst the cost is £ 12 million, however, according to art dealer Richard Polsky from San Francisco, it can not exceed £ 5 million: "The way the prices of the skull Hirst is just a way to attract attention - that's the function Skull
According to David Lee, redaktora magazine Jackdaw, the market prices of contemporary art are maintained by dealers, purchasing their own work. "Everything that happens seems as though people are trying to manipulate the market by raising prices. We are not talking about the art - he said - This is buffoonery, as in the art world would not stand any other market. Here all efforts aimed at to be on everyone's mind, and that your actions have had a decent response. The work of those who got the attention of the press and television, are record prices. All this has nothing to do with art. "
UPDATE2 [31/12/07]: In connection with the above-quoted in the publication of state John Varoli, we try to contact the author. He confirmed that he spoke with Helen Getmansky on the phone. In conversation, she reported that the Hermitage Museum plans to show the work of Damian Hirst's "For the love of God" in May 2008. The quality of telephone service was excellent, and Varoli distinctly heard every word. Varoli stressed that in this situation is just a reporter, bringing to the attention of public officials say the Hermitage Museum. And that Hetman told him on October 6, exactly in line with information received on 5 October in Kiev from Damien Hirst. So when writing articles could be no doubt allegations hetman, which only Confirm that Damien Hirst said Varoli
