Damien Hirst. $18.6 million in 2008. I think that it's brilliant.

About Me
Know Thyself and To Thineself Be True
LORD GORING. You see, Phipps, Fashion is what one wears oneself. What is unfashionable is what other people wear.
PHIPPS. Yes, my lord.
LORD GORING. Just as vulgarity is simply the conduct of other people.
PHIPPS. Yes, my lord.
LORD GORING. And falsehoods the truths of other people.
PHIPPS. Yes, my lord.
LORD GORING. Other people are quite dreadful. The only possible society is oneself.
PHIPPS. Yes, my lord.

A mere bagatelle ! The diamond and platinum skull casting went for 100,000,000.
I think there may be a bit of an, uh, endurance problem with these formaldehyde jobs. When I saw the shark at the Metropoltan last year, there seemed already to be some decay issues -- especially when it was seen lighted by the sun through a window behind it. A chatty guard informed me that I was probably right. He said that several very official types had viewed it a number of times over several days, and they noticed it was a bit the worse for wear. One of them said that Hirst would have no problem re-doing the whole thing, and that "it was to be expected."
Stunning. I must have it.
