Wow.
I saw him on the South Bank show last night, and he had sold that giant atonomy model thing for a million quid. Then he said he'd bought back some of his early work for £6 million from Saatchi, after making "£25-30 million" from a single show! I knew he was well-off, but I had know idea the art racket was so lucrative, I always assumed artists got ripped off like muscians do. Jeff Koons was on it as well, he's probably rolling in it too. Ever read that essay by Robert Hughes in the late 80s Art & Money? Well, it's ten times worse now, it seems. It's a shame because I do like Koons and Hirst's stuff a lot, as eye candy, if nothing else.
