I disagree.
With the right training most people (who aren't spackhanded retards) could copy almost any piece of art. So, therefore, you could make most of these things. What you couldn't do is make it originally, because you didn't have the idea. Ideas are just as much skill as being able to weild a brush or a chisel or a violin bow.

But, I still think Hirst's stuff is shite, mind.

Every month or soo I get someone who wants me to build a website, where they tell me the idea, get upset when I ask logic questions, and then say I can have 50% if I do 100% of the work and investment.
Most of the time they're porn related.

"I go around fucking these chicks, and we pay them, and we do it on video, and then sale the videos".

Or

"Facebook, yeah', £25b, yeah', how about we make a website that's like facebook, only it's for pugs. We'll make a fortune, there must be loads of pugs owners out there who want to share their pugs."

or

"Yeah', just like google, only it would belong to us".

They are _not_ website developers, designers or even conceptionalists.
