Damien Hirst Explains The Skull - Seven Ages of Britain - Series 1 Episode 7 Preview - BBC One

In the last episode, David Dimbleby looks at how the 20th century saw ordinary Britons upturning ancient power structures and class hierarchies. The catalyst was the First World War, which embroiled the whole nation and called traditional values into question. The result was an ever-growing 'democratization' of culture, with art coming off gallery walls, becoming an instrument of self-expression at the service of the individual.

This man is an idiot. Spend that money in a fucking charity if you are privileged enough to be able to throw it around because you dont know what to do with it. Thats not a statement its pretense.

There's a SUCKER born every minute! Good to see the 'art' elite taken in so fucking beautifully by this joker! Keep it up mate! I'm sure you'll slap together a flourescent corpse or maybe a gold plated human stool to flog to some wanker for £100M or so! Gonna get me some pale blue glasses and act like a chav in a china shop.

[hideouschud]

OK...Heard and read all that you guys had to say... And rant... And it is all worthless... Here is why. Art can not be displayed for you at the moment....

[chasedbyfaun]

he sounds about as sophisticated as a plumber.

[jxcca]

he did show enormous creativity in his use of diamonds

@codeninja100 these people who are spending millions of dollars on overrated shitty art, just want to be apart of art history. I'm starting to think its not about the art anymore but more about social hierarchy and i think Jeff Koons and Damien Hirst realize that too. At least thats what i like to think.
