I just watched Sunday Morning on CBS. A piece about artist Damien Hirst really caught and held my attention. He is a British artist that I had never heard of before, but his art work in many different mediums really garnered my attention. I set down my coffee cup and I was glued to the TV. The links I post are well worth taking a moment to look at. The art is varied and amazing.
He has created beautiful works of art with butterflies some of which come from private collections that he has purchased. Huge, strikingly colorful and eye catching works of art composed of nothing other than butterfly wings and glue.

From the beautiful to the morbid and macabre. From the beauty of butterflies, his mind and art wanders to creations featuring dead cows and houseflies glued to a canvas.

Fake relics and a story of a shipwreck. The fraudulent tale of a shipwreck that contained gold statues and other relics, created as an amazing exhibition of art. The artwork is amazing.

What actually amazes me is that much of the artwork sold under his name is not even created by his own hands. It is done by other artists, in a large commercial studio, under his guidance and supervision. The amazing thing is that these works of art, created by unknown hands are bringing huge prices, in the millions, at art auctions around the world.
The prices garnered by his works are nothing short of shocking.

I found the story very interesting and the art to be shocking in some cases and spell binding in others, to say the least.
