Renowned artist Damien Hirst shares funny story about fame

[@manic2360]

He's not an artist. he's a business man.

[@weehudyy]

All successful artists are and always have been .

[@SevenOfNineteen]

@@weehudyy True. Almost all great artists in the history of the world maintained workshops with numerous staff. The problem is that many people who don't understand art confuse it with craftsmanship.

[@artvsmachine]

@@weehudyy Especially Van Gogh!

[@weehudyy]

@@artvsmachine Classic example of someone unable to market the undeniable talent they possessed , as opposed to say, Salvidore Dali , a triumph of surface over substance ... Gala saw Andy and a lightbulb exploded into mountains of cash

[@artvsmachine]

@@weehudyy And thus all successful artists are not and never have been businessmen. Of course, I am defining successful artists in terms of making great art, not money. Business has nothing to do with art.

7:40 - The word "simp" was recently in the New York Times crossword, so I don't think crosswords really mean much anymore.

[@zaveeramini9712]

He sounds like he could be a local plumber lol

[@jeffwads]

Please tell me this is a joke of a story. His stuff looks like a 1st grader's science project.

[@ronaldolamont]

Unfortunately he is not the joke, the art world is a joke!! Lol 😂😂

[@farhanisraq5102]

Don’t insult first grader’s science project like that

[@jimmydroid7838]

He sounds and looks like he belongs in a Guy Ritchie movie.

[@lukerabin5079]

He pretty much does.

[@monkii5258]

He's robbing the prentious rich people for millions so I suppose he could be lmao

[@johno4521]

DAMIEN HIRST - the world’s richest artist with a £300million fortune - claimed more than £1.3million in furlough funds during the pandemic. That money was supposed to be for hard-pressed taxpayers, people who were on the verge of losing jobs and their livelihoods, not a stinking rich so-called artist who charters private planes with seats for his dogs. During the lockdowns, Hirst’s business made £18.2million, yet he’s so damn greedy he takes money destined for the poor. One critic said of him: “All that drives him is the empty thrill of a full wallet.” And he was right. The man’s a disgrace. I’d say he should be ashamed of himself but I doubt he’d understand the concept.

[@rrosaseconda]

Nearly as big an art huckster as Jeff Koons. Time will show his work is s h i t e.

[@jeffwads]

Wow, one person here can see this garbage sham-artist for what he is. Kudos to him for fooling people with hard cash, though.

[@markhooper4532]

Winnie Wallace.. Artist my arse.

[@catalinacurio]

Can’t Hirst give a little art to those who can’t afford to pay but have an appreciation.

[@bigblackbox2588]

Take a look at Other Criteria - set up to do exactly that by Hirst, Collishaw, Landy etc... Not necessarily gonna buy a Shark but still really good value artwork and knowledge available for a decent price.

[@jonathanf2392]

[@tiredpillow8436]

People really think he’s an “artist”???

[@thatsjust2easy802]

cant help but love this bloke! so clever yet down to earth

[@Metal_Tao]

He's a fraud, really. Of course he is down to earth, he is rich as hell and admits he doesnt have to care about what his art looks like or how he makes it. He steals ideas all the time to steal the fame.

[@ionas8154]

"cant help but love this bloke (who just steals peoples arts and doesnt give a single fuck or care or effort or give any emotion to what he creates)!"

[@bengagliardo1080]

never heard of him... so-called household name.

[@iodinekaida2]

House hold name within the wealthiest haha.

[@8thousevirgin]

Only know about him now when I googled who is the richest visual artist, his name came out on top. Jeff Koons, second.

[@timewilltell7409]

480p. Really?

[@MC-br8gk]

Not talking about that HR5 bill

[@BlowinFree]

He certainly found a positive from the c vid. When he relieved the government purse of millions to furlough his assistants

[@henrybogle8437]

Artist on the downward slope forced to do CNN puff pieces. His market has been in serious trouble for a decade+. Those cherry tree paintings are very inert in content and execution considering his past best work.

Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: “The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. So you must be careful to do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. They tie up heavy, cumbersome loads and put them on other people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them. Everything they do is done for people to see: They make their phylacteries wide and the tassels on their garments long; they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues; they love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and to be called ‘Rabbi’ by others. “But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers. And do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you have one Father, and he is in heaven. Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one Instructor, the Messiah. The greatest among you will be your servant. For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted". You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything, in Heaven above or in the Earth beneath, or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents up to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments. "If my people who are called by my name, humble themselves and pray, AND TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS, I will hear from Heaven, will forgive their sins, and will heal their land." And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. This, then, is how you should pray: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins. "Matthew 5-7 NIV Bible Gateway", we can use google search. These are the teachings, The Righteousness of our Lord Jesus Christ our God. REPENT, and start doing what is right. If you abide my teachings, you are really my disciples; then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. A time is coming and has now come, that the true worshipers will worship the Father in Spirit and Truth. God is Spirit, so his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and Truth; they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. In the New Heaven and New Earth, only Righteousness dwells. May the Spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ our God be with you all.
