Starry Wisdom
Dating of his art works, that is - he favours date of idea over date of completion - Damien Hirst formaldehyde animal works dated to 1990s were made in 2017 a curious way to do things

Next they'll be telling us he doesn't even paint most of his paintings and gets a team of assistants to do them for him instead.
Oh.
Oh.

I am guessing the formaldehyde didn't actually preserve the animals / birds / whatever because of interfering factors* And he had to create the works again or create similar works and date them as per the timing of "original idea to creation / fruition of idea as physical object".
*I think he is a bit of a chancer.

Well they all do that. I once got into a barney with one of Hockney's 'assistants' over that. He's got a proper squad.
At least 'Hirst's' work is good.

is it?
Well, yeh, to me it is, but obvs art by nature is subjective. It's definitely better than the MS Paint shite Hockney has been flogging for decades.

Thought this was going to be about him dating half a person at a time.
Title sounding like Channel 4's latest 'reality' show to me

I'd assumed this was about his Tindr/Grindr/judgerobertrinder/bumble/GrauniadDating profile.
Or something.

Some of it is good. Some of his work has made me think and feel and have ideas, even lived within me as a reference point. Most of what I’ve seen doesn’t have that effect on me at all. I look at it and it seems pointless, vapid, banal, even stupid. I’ve been to several of his exhibitions over the years and that’s been consistent for me.
I think Hockney got bored once he was successful/heard &seen, and as a result, really boring.

I don't rate him at all. I've seen tik tok videos with more skill and originality than putting dead animals in formaldahyde or creating a glass box full of flies.
Oh but it's a commentary about how artificial light permeates modern life.... Amazing. What a genius.

I guess it wouldn’t be right to have an art thread sans snobbery.

For those that are interested, he'll be fronting a Netflix doc about NFTs soon.

I'm no expert at all, but isn't this kinda what Jackson Pollock used to do back in the day?
