Sotheby's is preparing a solo auction Demiana Hirst
A central piece of the auction Sotheby
Several years ago,
But it seems the star of Brit-art, Demianu Hirst, the most commercially successful living artists, such doubts had already alien. He also faces a queue of customers, and in the career of every story is good, but auctions, he explicitly say not brezguet. Moreover, there is a positive experience. In October 2004, at Sotheby's was «clearance sale» property fashionable restaurant Hirst Pharmacy. In a restaurant that no longer exists, has been recreated entourage pharmacies: cabinets, furniture, crockery, cutlery - are subordinate to the overall design idea of the artist. Sold everything - from big and doroguschih kollazhnyh paintings to ryumok and ashtrays on the very democratic prices. Boom led to such a format unthinkable - the audience for hours standing in queues to place a bet and get into the auction hall. Almost from scratch natorgovali then to 11 million pounds, while expectations were high at 4.9 million pounds. Obviously, Hurst is like, and this fall he intends posotrudnichat from Sotheby's, will only sound in the new format - such as the best of Hirst ... Pre Hurst poizvinyalsya in the spirit that this step does not mean the end of his work with galleries, auction, simply - is another, and in general the world is changing and all the ways you want to try.
15 and 16 September 2008 at Sotheby's auction scheduled solo Demiana Hirst Beautiful Inside My Head Forever ( «The most beautiful of my designs»). At the tender will be issued a wide range of products, ranging from monumental sculptures in formaldehyde to new paintings with images of butterflies, pills and cancerous cells (well, Hurst Hurst would not have been without something этакого). Previously known that a central piece of the auction will be a monumental sculpture «Golden Taurus». In physical terms, this beef bull, installed in an aquarium with formaldehyde. Horn and hooves of the bull made of gold. Metal fittings trehmetrovogo «Aquarium» also plated. But, understandably, not in this value. The sculpture - a depository of ideas and metaphors from religion and philosophy, a particular interpretation of beauty, the problems of life and death. In fact, it's just bunch so that more than twenty years developing Hurst. Estimeyt «Golden calf» of 8-12 million pounds.
Remember that in the ranking of the most expensive living artists work Demiana Hirst «Sleeping Spring» (9,7 million pounds) took third place so far, exceeded only by picture «Sleep Inspector benefits» Lyutsiana Freud (33,6 million dollars) and «flower from a balloon (Purple)» Jeff Koons (12,92 million pounds). That is the real competition is from Koons. And in light of the upcoming auctions of the auction results did not seem so much invulnerable.
