euronews interview - Damien Hirst on art sharks and cash cows

[goodgollymr]

Who is anyone to say who is and who isn't an artist?

[JamesHanksy]

@goodgollymr Me you pretentious wanker.

[grabbatits]

he is an artist. he's just not a very good artist.

[Whatever3114]

He is an artist. The question you need to ask yourself is "what do i bring to the art world?" ideas ideas Hirst does have wild ideas and he produces them.

[fredtrompet]

he uses art to chase the money

[zebra4593]

he is not an artist

i embalmed my cat and stuck it in my fish tank--now give me one billion dollars...

[johnnyXsniper]

@codylawrence100 modern art is the visual expression of philosophy, the only people that hate hirst are people who cant understand him

[JamesBStudios]

@johnnyXsniper

An embalmed animal is an embalmed animal. It is not the artist, but the viewer of the work that decides what the value is and how much to invest emotionally in a piece of art. The art world is a wonderfully absurd place.

[johnnyXsniper]

@JamesBStudios yeah thats what annoys me, people get on at him for high prices. its not his fuckin fault its the fact everyone else wants what he makes that drives prices up

[zebra4593]

@johnnyXsniper i understand him. he is not an artist. van gogh and rembrandt were artists.

[johnnyXsniper]

@zebra4593 i detest them. theyr great artists but i really dont appreciate their work. i like the likes of michael joo. hirst, each to their own. whys everyone so fucking angry, why cant they accept that
