Hirst's Legend
Here's Moneybags Hirst's latest statue Legend (2011) on display at Sotheby's Beyond Limits selling exhibition in the grounds of Chatsworth House (title link). I hate to admit it, but this sculpture is rather good. The big question with Hirst is: Did he make it himself or did one of his teams make it for him?

There's something not right about it - the merged anatomy is unconvincing. The pose is very earthbound with no feeling of latent energy. It looks to me like a model horse with a pair of wings stuck on in the easiest position to avoid any cantilever engineering.
True, but you must admit it's better than his usual tripe. It's the first piece of his I've rather liked since his portrait of his landlady's cat turned up and was rejected for sale for being atypical of his work!
