Death is a central theme in Hirst's works. He became famous for a series in which dead animals (including a shark, a sheep and a cow) are preserved—sometimes having been dissected—in formaldehyde.
The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living, a 14-foot (4.3 m) tiger shark immersed in formaldehyde in a vitrine became the iconic work of British art in the 1990s, and the symbol of Britart worldwide. Its sale in 2004 made him the world's second most expensive living artist after Jasper Johns.

Ese tipo de cosas en general no me gustan, pero pasa que no deja de ser arte porque vos o yo pensemos que no debe serlo!
Para mi que Damien Hirst es un superdotado del marketing.
The Golden Calf es lindísimo, además.
ei, ese me gustó jaja!
claro, lo que ahora define qué es una obra de arte son las leyes del mercado.
Y un artista es definido por sus habilidades para manipular ese mismo mercado...
