Dissected 5YL coming....

This is true.
Hirst has the unenviable task of trying to fix a giant rotting shark.

Actually, I think the plan is to get a new shark, and use a different preservation method this go 'round.

 

if it is hirst working with kaws i'm totally wanting to get it.....but only if it is hirst.....

.....hirst has been ripped off before, look at one of the scenes from the cell with the horse or cow (i can't remember )cut up....the movie came out a few years after he started cutting up animals like that................

 

Can you fill it with slime like "Alien Autopsy"?

 

I don't know. I think "they" are just stretching it. Starting to lose interest fast.

This was interesting... Awesome "en corpse".

 

Is that the show that used dead cons?

 

Dead kaws.

 

dude i went to that when i was in Nyc in may or june.......it was crazy!!!

yes it was real bodies too....

 

last time i went there, before it moved... it was completely different it was all paintings really, no sculpture atall, like the hirsts or chapman brothers... the only thing still left was the walk in oil room. but i havent been to it since it moved... not even sure where it is! haha

i saw that hirst sculpture when i was in NY in feb... it huuuuugee

this is the picture i took, compared to a normal sized person



i really like this piece, i hope it is as detailed as the original... but i dont think it is with hirst, just what i have heard...

Hirst's model was based on an old scientific model. All he did was blow it up in size. I believe he later paid an undisclosed amount to the original, by then rather irate, creator.

here's a report:

" Plagiarism does not pay, or does it?
Raichel Le Goff

Andy Warhol replicated Campbell's soup tins but at least he loudly acknowledged the source. Jeff Koons has presented sculptures based on well known toys before too but Damien Hirst, British wunderkind and previous Turner Prize winner is the first to take a toy off the shelf, copy it precisely and call it original art.

Charles Saatchi the British advertising tycoon has the honour of going down in history as the first 'connoisseur' to pay a reported $1.8 million for a large replica of a toy. Has anyone reproduced a 20 ft. Barbie Doll and managed to flog it for the same price? Long time an art fashion icon, Barbie escaped Hirst's midas touch. No, he wanted something more err...original. A veteran of playing elaborate jokes on the art world Hirst, leader of BritArt's brat-pack has taken the toy manufacturer Humbrol's "Anatomy Set" from its "Young Scientist" series aimed at ages 6 years and over and reproduced it in painted bronze. The million pound sculpture is an exact copy of the toy. Hirst did not even bother to change the colours. At five times natural proportions and shining in garish enamels it looks like something that was destined for the Millennium Dome. The deceit comes in not openly acknowledging that he copied Humbrol's toy. He still has not come out with a statement that even mentions the toy. Unlike Warhol who glorified the name Campbell's, Hirst has not stamped his sculpture with the brand name Humbrol. Knowing that within a few hours after the statue was unveiled to the press that someone was bound to recognize the prototype we can only surmise that Hirst the super brat considers himself so untouchable that he is at the point of making anything a valuable work of art just by the mere fact of his involvement. Sadly, he is perfectly sane in his judgement of the art world. The proof is in having Britain's foremost collector declare he had "absolutely fallen in love with it" and buy it. "

 

sweeetness soon....

 

i love hirst
(when did saatchi move? i haven't been in a while.. last time i was there was a hirt kinda retrospective)
and kaws
i don't see this as kaws ripping off anyone
hirst basically took the invisible man (woman) toy and blew it up
this is a new adaption and so sick looking
i've wanted one since i saw the OF pics and the huge one

 

I picked up his original (not the compact) "I Want to Spend the Rest of My Life Everywhere, With Everyone, One to One, Always, Forever, Now" back in 2001 or so.

Boston had an exhibit of his work a couple years ago.
