Damien Hirst Is Still Trying To Piss You Off

Prepare for the outrage! Damien Hirst’s new New York show, opening on January 30 at Gagosian on Madison Ave., seems to mostly be new and yet already-done (by him) art pieces that consist of huge “manufactured diamonds” on shelves. Also: excellent timing. OMG it’s a commentary on ECONOMIC DISPARITY and ARBITRARY VALUE. Smells like 2008. Let us begin the campaign to request that all of the show’s profits be donated directly to Doctors Without Borders. (via)
