Hirst haiku


Cult 'artist' businessman Damien Hirst is about to sell off his own silver, namely everything he has ever made (or had made for him- he employs an army of functionaries to do the work for him!). The sale, expected to raise tens of millions will take place at Sotheby's next week.

He's even selling something he has 'stolen' from Durham Cathedral, a reproduction of the Rose Window. The works, with such pretentious names as 'Anatomy of an Angel'- a cast of an angel in white in which we get to see her partially exposed innards, 'The Incredible Journey'- a zebra in formaldehyde, 'The Kingdom'- a shark in formaldehyde, and, wait for it, 'Beautiful Helios Hysteria Intense Painting(With Extra Inner Beauty').
The sale is called 'Beautiful Inside My Head Forever.' (sic!)
