(Viven. I meant Vladimir link.) .. but the accident still atknulas (mzht you like)
November 17, 2008:

"Briton Damien Hirst, the most powerful man in the art world and the richest living artist, acknowledged that the global financial crisis hit the market of contemporary art, and that it will lower prices for their work:" I think that art is as much for He prepared to pay. "The words of Hirst leads newspaper The Independent.
In September 2008, the house Sotheby's has successfully conducted an auction of Hirst's personal: then two days were sold works by the artist at 206 million dollars. But in November the demand for the work of Hurst has fallen sharply. So, the house Phillips de Pury & Co auction on November 13 did not find a buyer for now "Beautiful Artemis Thor Neptune Odin Delusional Sapphic Inspirational Hypnosis Painting" ( "Mad Sapphic inspired hypnotic painting beautiful Artemis, Thor, Neptune, one"), is estimated at 3 -4 million.

Reviewer The New York Times, summing up the disappointing outcome of the week trading in contemporary art, has noted that almost all things Hirst did not sell.

The November auctions to sell works of art, especially post-war, found a significant drop in demand. From the market almost completely gone new collectors from Russia and the Middle East, and prices fell back at pictures from 2006. According to some observers, the decline will continue for some time. Upcoming auctions that will be required to show the state of the market, expected in February 2009, when Christie's to sell a collection of the late couturier Yves Saint Laurent.

And how could it be otherwise? This course estesstveno. Investments - are investments with a view to their passive rate (ie, they must grow by themselves, without dorolnitelnyh costs ..)
A Hurst as brilliantly capitalist! (Analogs just have not had is a phenomenon of all time, and therefore excites the imagination, and "consideration" too!)
Strange ideas (usually), someone else's hands (that's for sure), someone else's brains (business start-Mile is!) To organize production,
kosossalny which generates income that is not even in my sleep I dream (I wonder what would Marx say?) and therefore "can not stop people to engage in a discussion of his work" ...

But, as one directed by the British (not Klarson, can determine exactly who, in order not to be unfounded) in the transfer of the most annoying (annoying-annoing), the people. where he (X) always enters because of his conversations odengah (if and where said a few words.):

  I personally only "old Baudrillard" helps to understand this phenomenon (as long as "the roof is not sehala ")... which can be briefly expressed thus: that in which the west vkladyvabt money has long since ceased to be art, (but it works yet, I would add ). I'd love to have all his books (except for "consumer society") If anyone can help, I will be grateful ..
