Digital BW, The Print

Trish, 

I did not see that story but I sure wish I had. Thanks for sending the headsup.  

That custodian probably has good taste....let's hope he got to keep his job.

  Subject: [Digital BW] ART-what is it?


  Steadman et al,

  Did you see the story in yesterday's NY Times about the Damien Hirst
  installation?
  He set it all up in the gallery street window for his new show (Martin, I
  think it looked like our studios)....they had the opening reception and that
  night the custodian threw it out...said it looked like garbage...the gallery
  owner was quick to point out that he had only "set it aside" (meaning they
  were able to pull most of it out of the dumpster)...she was quoted as
  stating that it was worth hundreds of thousands of dollars...staff was able
  to put it back together, mostly. Hirst himself thought the whole thing was
  hysterically funny.

  Is art in the eye
  of the beholders or in
  the gallery's dumpster?
