Sorry if this has already been posted, havent had time to read through last few days posts.

But Damien Hirst gave £700,000 to demelza house in kent yesterday after his art auction this week.

He gave nearly 4 million pounds to different charites yesterday.

    read that too. Always thought he must be a right knob but maybe I was wrong. Well done Damien.

    Mind you if id just won 100 million on the lottery i might be a tad generous as well.

    Round of drinks in the con club maybe.

    Either a great artist or a very very shrewd + clever man . Possibly both.

    If you like dead animals in embalming fluid he is your man.


    I think his best work was the dead cat in a tank of ink called " moon light over Woowich"

    neither - a lucky wannabee artist who found some rich friends

    A very fashionable artist whose work sells for millions.

    Most controversially stuff like this which he doesn't even do. He has the idea and gets someone else to produce it. Wouldn't have it in my house for two reasons. I. I can't stand it 2. I'd flog it ASAP

    All the same, the guy actually spent time producing a piece of work and donated it. So shit brit art or no, nice one Damien.

    Yeah, well done on donating all that money. I think he and Bono did something similar to raise money to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.

    This I like. Hirst and Banksy
