This fall, the Metropolitan Museum of Art will present one of the most arresting works of art by the British artist Damien Hirst: "The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living." Originally created in 1991, the piece consists of a preserved shark in a tank of formaldehyde. But the shark that will appear at the Met is the second version of this work: The first began to decompose within the tank. Mr. Hirst then recreated the work with a second shark, a 13-foot tiger shark preserved professionally for the future.
Mr. Hirst's shark — on a three-year loan from its owner, Steven A. Cohen — raises question about death and life, but its history also poses issues about the permanence of art. Can a work be so easily reproduced? And if so, what happens to its value?

he wants people to react like you all have so really hes won, he wanted to be famous and allowed to get away with crap art, so fair do's, hes alot richer than any of us will probs ever be
the guys work is shit period, however it is not his work its just any idea he had. So i have to take my hat off to this guy for getting other people to do all the work and then get some body with more money than sence to buy it. bravo!!!!!!!!!!
Art is for enjoyment, whether that be visual, audible, physical or whatever... Modern art has focused more on intellectual enjoyment. In a way, it has followed on from (or led by artists such as Marcel Duchamp I should probably say) the modern media which focuses more on the "public's" reaction to events rather then presenting the facts to the public. Modern art has moved to engage the viewer and to evoke a response. Art by its very nature can't be defined. So it is and is not art.
i just had a damien hirst type idea.. using a cow cut up into 5 parts from head to ass in 5 glass parts, each spinning in the opposite direction as the piece infront and behind it... the idea is that this big heavy lump of a thing carrying so much weight is now free.
