Shark Snark: Concerning the nature of art and the need for assistants.

Hirst's famous shark art, entitled, naturally,
The Impossibility of Death in the Mind of the Living.

Mega-arteestes Damien Hirst and David Hockney are in a snit, or at least Hockney is in a snit that Hirst uses assistants to create his art (including the taxidermist who stuffed the shark suspended in formaldehyde in Hirst's The Impossibility of Death in the Mind of the Living, or otherwise known as the Shark in the Tank.)  This is an interesting question to ponder. 

And it makes me wonder:  maybe what this blog needs is a good assistant.....
