Brilliant. The gallery is only one letter away from where all Hirst's work should sit...

one way to immortalise the prat. The original work was made to order - damien hirst was the concept artist rather than in terms of construction! - J

Not at all Paul I love Hirst's work.

The whole point of art to to create a reaction and just because for many it's a bad one it doesn't mean he is any less successful - in fact it means they are feeding him the emotions he requested with his work. All the greats have been hated as much as loved.

My favourite of his pieces is the medicine cabinet - I forget the title.
