Robert Hughes: The Business of Art. Damien Hirst is all hype
Loading...
Uploaded by Carms2k on Mar 23, 2009
At Sothebys an anonymous bidder bought a bull in a tank of formaldehyde for £10.3million. The worlds most expensive cut of beef was cooked up, inevitably, by the artist Damien Hirst, whose Beautiful Inside My Head Forever sale of 223 new works fetched £111.5million, a record for an auction dedicated to one artist.
The illustrious Australian art critic Robert Hughes, however, isnt buying the hype.

Damien Hirst is not an artist. He doesnt produce anything..other people do his work...if anything they deserve more credit for his work than him.
It's so sad how millions of artists around the world produce quality work, practise everyday,struggle and dont get any recognition while this guy doesnt do anything and gets everything...t

robert hughes is the worst art critic ever, nobody said warhol was a painter, he uses such bad arguments!!
-
They say if you follow in peoples footsteps then you will always be in peoples shadows. Not in Damien Hirtst's case.
-
It looks like he is the great plagiarizer.

@kdavisification Alright, then, question answered...
-
@CatZula I'm neither Hirst or Mugrabi. I was just hoping God would see my comment and take that fat fucker out.
-
@kdavisification I'm guessing you're either Hirst or Mugrabi. Who else would be so idiotic as to wish death upon someone for speaking their mind...

When will this over-fed Australian blowhard Robert Hughes finally drop dead?

Hughes, I like you humor. Myself, I play cards for immortality.

Damien Hirst is rubbish. If someone wants to throw away millions of dollars for garbage that they hope one day will sold to someone dumber than themselves for millions more then they have hope because as P.T. Barnum stated, 'there is a sucker born every day'.

@earinsound
Excuse me he is not articulate at all. He generalizes, does not offer
any specific examples to support his floundering blather, gives no
indication that he even understands the questions he's being asked!
He is an example of someone so rich he doesn't have to think,
or justify himself, never did. It's clear
he never had to develop any intellectual capacity whatsoever,
probably asks his chauffeur what he should say or just parrots his daddy.
A total mushbrain.
