Hi

I love visiting art galleries, and I'm very open-minded about modern art, but Damien Hirst's new exhibit at the Royal Academy is one which I don't want to see. :shock: :shock:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1348845/Damien-Hirsts-latest-unveiled-Royal-Academy-Arts-Maggots-flies-barbecue.html

Damien Hirst is now estimated to have made £215 million from his art, but I won't be contributing a single penny to his fortune.

What do you think about it :?:

    Without doubt the biggest pile of pap I have ever seen, definately Emperor's new clothes syndrome going on there, some pretencious **** says it's great and hey presto, an empty beer can with dog poo in it is worth ten grand..... :???: :roll:
