Damien Hirst is a gangsta


9 of the 10 highest price tags on the art market for the month of September were marked with the name "Damien Hirst". You can check out the full list here. I've never been impressed with Hirst, but he is so hot right now it's ridiculous. Animals preserved in resin and chemicals? It's more like a tacky science experiment to me. But, the guy knows how to rake in the cheddar.

The ten highest priced works sold during September totaled over $78 million. No chump change.

Who's in a recession?
