# Agreed.
Annoyingly, he's a good artist otherwise though, as is the case with lots of these fucking nonces, overpowered by their own self importance and desire to peddle their shit to the unsuspecting public at large*







* For about 100 million quid.

# I think with Damien Hurst and alot of other NBAs
the 'art' is about 'marketing' - that's the whole point

the art piece is irrelevant - it's why it no longer matters that he doesn't even produce it himself

the 'art' is the marketing process itself and has nothing to do with the actual object

# which is, let's face it, the fate of most folks wanting to be famous artists
who don't give up and get shit soul destroying job accounting for quarterly paperclip usage

edit: I got nowt against people making money, and lots of it, it's just when it gets dressed up as something magical when it's just $$$$ it makes me sad
