Everyone knows Frank Gehry, but I could not hear,or can remember, the other artist's names you covered in this blurb. Thanks.

Please keep up the good work.Jameshttp://dovesoferin.blogmas.com Sun 12 Apr 2009 16:54:21 GMT+1 http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/thereporters/raziaiqbal/2008/09/about_razia_iqbal.html?page=5#comment2 I love Razia Iqbal's allusion to (or is it an analogy of?) the naked emperor. One day one of these days one of these pieces is going to spring a formaldehyde leak and these collectors are going to be left with some odd pickle!

The Dadaists saw the absurdity of changing tastes in the art market - and a lot of other things. Damien Hirst has been lucky enough to get academic support for his recycled ideas and hence the money of investor's - this is an old story, too. Should we be outraged? No, not if we can still see a purpose in the purposelessness of art.

Must say I agree with Razia Iqbal but where's that child to tell these foolish billionaires that the emperor has no clothes. Of all the hype in the art world,this is the most indecent I could imagine. So much money spent to satisfy the buyers' egos not only that of Damien Hirst.I find the whole thing quite revolting and out of all proportion to any real values, artistic or otherwise.
