  • there are shark libbers out there.last week 2 great whites took an abalone diver rising to the surface off the coast of australia witnessed by the boat guy who was treated for shock .when will people stop putting sharks on pedestals and see them as that poor bastard saw them.

  • @JeanEmar3 doesnt mean anything.

  • This is my opinion about DH :

    ...because the line between art and garbage can be thin.

    Sometimes even artists cannot see it.

  • bunch of tools. sharks should be left in the water not put in a tank of formaldehyde for a charlatan like hirst to make millions with. These millionaires will pay for their opulence one day soon.

  • Hirst couldn't have timed this sale any better. He would never get these prices today.

  • Check artist Josignacio Painting
