Spots On Display

I find it incredible that Gagosian has gone to the trouble of collecting more than 300 of Moneybags Hirst's spot paintings - most borrowed from private individuals and public institutions - and putting them on display simultaneously in its 11 galleries across the world, from London to Hong Kong. The Complete Spot Paintings 1986–2011 opened today in all 11 venues (title link). Could this be a world record attempt at staging the most boring and inconsequential art show ever? I find it equally incredible that Hirst has sold 300 versions of his spotty tosh, which he admits he can't be bothered to paint himself. Banksy's rat knows more about art than do the punters who buy Moneybags' pustules.
