Damien Hirst em Espanha (e também em Portugal)

'Suicide' sculpture of Damien Hirst causes controversy in Spain: In fact, the Hirst money-making magic seems to have rubbed off on him. His 4 the Love of Go(l)d has been snapped up by a buyer from Florida, reportedly for $41,000 (£28,800). All his other Hirst spoofs have also been bought at ARCO, going to collectors in Holland and Portugal.

The Death of Damien Hirst: While there is no suggestion that Hirst himself is suicidal, perhaps it's time for him to ponder the physical impossibility of death in the mind of someone living.

British Artists Fight Hirst with Hirst: A collective of British artists has come to the aid of Cartrain, a 16-year-old artist who was forced to forfeit £200 ($284) in profit to Damien Hirst after the art-world superstar threatened to sue the teenager over the use of an image of Hirst's diamond-encrusted skull, For the Love of God.
