ivan, is he known as a charlatan in british art circles? many art dealers fawn over his animal entrails in the US. in my opinion he's disgusting and not to be taken seriously.

Contessa:

There is a certain scene that takes him seriously, but the wider public thinks Damien Hirst = Dead Animals, not Art. Of course that scene regards the rest of us as philistines. On the other hand, I happen to love 19th century art, and so I regard Mr. Hirst as a barbarian. ;)

Regards, Ivan
