Britain’s Biggest-selling Artist

The Economist article on Damien Hirst, Britain’s biggest-selling artist + the peculiar art market + other viewpoints @ http://www.economist.com/books/displayStory.cfm?story_id=12202493 was interesting.

Only the brave sell at auction, for it is impossible to control who buys or what price they will pay. Some of Mr Hirst’s pieces will sell easily, especially if several bidders descend on the same work at once; others will be knocked down more slowly.
