Hirst's Skull Sculpture

As reported in today's Guardian UK, Spanish artist, Eugenio Merino, has made a clever sculpture that addresses Damien Hirst's relationship with the art market. This sense of humor reminds me of Maurizio Cattelan.

"It is a joke but it is also paradoxical that if he did kill himself his work would be worth even more," said Merino. "That is a metaphor for the current state of the art world."
