Hirst bashing reaches German media
As always a little bit too late, the German media starts some bashing on Hirst. I like Telepolis, but with art they are not very experienced. I do not agree with the bashing and most comments. I commented in German language on this issue here. Some of those conclusions follow in English (;_():
1.Hirst did some outstandig art, not always of course, like every artist produces sometimes for the litter.
2. From the end of the 20th century he is one of the most inspiring, important, political and aestehtical, artists- at least to me.
3. His piece with the shark, was not overpaid (as I heard 10.000.000 Pounds ?), allthough I think that some of the cows are stronger. If I could effort, I would buy a cow, put it in a public place here in Tbilisi, where most public art monuments are really terrible bad.
4. A recent falldown of value of his art may be good for him and his future art.
5. When prices fall further, one could buy a piece, hoping that a new Hirst comes back in 10 years.
6. Biggest artists of the 20th century: Beuys and Duchamp (a nice Duo)
By the way in 1998 I bought a big book/catalogue on Hirsts Art in New York, for a for me then big amount of 125 USD, what I lend some time ago to a professor of the Tbilisi State Academie of Arts, where some Georgian students are now learning from innovative book design. Compliment to the bookmakers and designers, I cant recall title and publisher, because its lend. Those students now of course also get confronted with his art, like imagine the selfportrait with the dead guy, this has some impact here in Georgia !
