http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBcGTtkPHag I just saw this video. Somewhat behind the times since it was filmed in 2008! I was looking up Damien Hirst who is the richest artist in the world to date. living artist that is. and the "funny" relationship he had with a graffitti artitst named CarTrain. It reminded me so much of a friend of mine (an x OKWA member) who hung and photographed her work surreptitiously in the bathroom of a well known public art gallery, just to be able to say her work was in there (as a private gag).
There are some big issues to look at here. The world's richest living artist, Damien Hirst, suing a 16 yr old graffiti artist for plagarizing Hirst's skull installation. Damien being a radical youth himself to start with, becoming the "established artist" and the butt of a young alternative artist. It's worth the experience to follow some of the videos, especially the interview with CarTrain and his explanation of the event.
