This is primarily posted for my Yankee-in-London-exile comrade Ally. Personally, I think I filled up on Hirst at my visit to BCAM yesterday (question – did Broad acquire his pile of Hirsts in a Toys R Us style, fill up the cart, shopping spree?).
You can buy your $80,000 Daimen Hirst/Andy Warhol Levis with vomitacular spin art on them at Fred Segal in Santa Monica. I hear they come with a smug sense of capitalist self-satisfaction and a brief respite from your desperate fear of not being with it anymore. Giant Robot’s Eric Nakamura has the post and pictures to prove it.
In other Hirst news, this article is a nice intersection of the specificity of Japan, combined with the corpsetacular work of Hirst. Props to C-Monster for the link!

Holy crap. Those look so…weird. So totally wrong. It’s a joke, right?

Contemporary artists with complex multi-layered business models don’t have time for jokes, Ally. Hirst’s employees worked very hard drinking paint all morning and vomiting it up on these jeans, don’t mock their efforts.

I like them, they don’t at all look like vomit, they have movement..Nice. Not worth $80,000! I’ll make them at home, but definitely nice.
