Last year, Damien Hirst, regarded as a father of Britart, had a sculpture made up of pills, called "Lullaby Spring [2]," sell at auction for 9.65 million pounds, an incredible feat for the work of an artist who isn't yet dead. However, the 43-year-old, whose works are now on display at the Denver Museum of Contemporary Art, admits the art market is overpriced these days, according to Britain's Independent [3]. Given the recession, Hirst is welcoming the prospect that his work will sell for a bit less. It turns out his painting of four skulls, "Beautiful Artemis Thor Neptune Odin Delusional Sapphic Inspirational Hypnosis Painting," valued at $3 million, didn't sell at a New York auction last week. Hirst's place in the world beyond the contemporary art niche "remains hotly debated," according to The Denver Post [4]. And his Denver showing, which includes animals preserved in formaldehyde, raises "ethical concerns" for a Westword [5] critic.
