Ah, Recession????
This is what I found myself wondering when I heard about Damien Hirst's two day auction - 'Beautiful Inside My Head Forever' (nice name). He is auctioning off 223 works and get this, expected income generated from the sale of the works including 'The Golden Calf' - previously blogged about here is said to be in the vicinity of $135m. Yes, that's right, $135m. Sotheby's say this would make the record for any auction of works by a single artist.
I'm off to ebay to find me some formaldehyde, a dead calf, some gold and a fish tank.
