Damien Hirst Spot Prints, by ABC on Jan 23, 2012 18:04:44 GMT 1, I have thoroughly enjoyed reading some of the post's on this thread, and the phrase "I don't get it" seems to be popping up quite frequently, and I was just curious to know if most of us actually "get" the message from every piece of art we buy, after all take Banksy' work for example, ask a dozen people what a particular image represent's and you would probably get several different answers, so do they "get it", I'm sure it is true of many works of art that the observer just doesn't "get it" but like's the image anyway, but there again I am in the category of one who has no knowledge of art and has no taste according to a lot of the pseudo-intellectual art critics on here and in media. So back to my original question, do you understand every piece of art you buy?
I don't get all of my works but that does not bother me. What's good with it though is that it generates discussion. I'm constantly getting the usual, What is it meant to be?, don't get it, a four year old could do that, I could do that etc etc.
The thing is an artist will normally stick to a theme, Hirst is no different, its a brand as well as a work of art for the top artists. Hirst - Dots, Murakami - Flowers, Invader..... the world would be boring if we all liked the same things.

Damien Hirst: On the Spot
The Industrious Art Star Occupies Gagosian Galleries Worldwide with His Complete Spot Paintings
A rhinestone-wearing Damien Hirst explains the theory and thought behind his infamous spot paintings in the latest short from filmmaker Matt Black. The legendary British artist, made famous by submerging mammals in formaldehyde and creating jaw-droppingly expensive jewel-encrusted skulls, has become one of the most prolific and lucrative names in contemporary art. The Complete Spot Paintings, 1986-2011, his series of 331 white canvasses imbued with rows of multicolored dots, are currently on display at all 11 of mega-gallerist Larry Gagosianโs sites around the globe. Manufactured largely by Hirstโs army of assistants, the paintings range in size and detail, with the most recent, completed in 2011, containing some 25,781 spots each 1mm in diameter; no single color is ever repeated on a canvas. Black first encountered Hirstโs hyper-symmetrical series in the mid 1990s, and found that his opinion on the works slowly developed from ambivalence to fascination. โWhen you are in a room full of them, they are overwhelming and disturbing; these dots staring at you creates a real sense of anxiety,โ says Black. โHis work always has an aggressiveness, and these are no exception.โ

Damien Hirst Spot Prints, by Poppy Sunshine on Jan 24, 2012 11:07:30 GMT 1, Not sure if it's been mentioned on this massive thread but I was very interested to see the art episode of "what makes a masterpiece" on More 4.
I won't go into lengthy detail but the idea was to find scientific reason why we like certain art and what it is that stimulates the brain into thinking something is good or bad.
They lined up a handful of famous works by several artists including Hirst and the upshot of their scientific findings was that there was virtually zero excitement or brain stimulation from looking at a Hirst spot painting.
Similarly they ran a few famous and not so famous paintings by the programme presenter while scanning his brain and asked which he liked. When he saw a Da Vinci he said he liked it whereas his brain actually said he couldn't care less.
He admitted afterwards that he recognised the painting as Da Vinci and thought he ought to like it rather than went with his gut feeling.
I think the whole Hirst phenomenon is built around Saatchi and others conning us into thinking this is great art whereas it is a load of coloured spots constantly rehashed to provide a massive cash extracting vehicle.
Don't get me wrong, I like the spot prints (or at least I think I do) and would like to have them represented in my collection. However, I think it's turning into a bit of a p*ss take.
If you can find the above mentioned programme on the tinty somewhere have a look. It's really interesting.

It would be interesting for the same experiment to be done with cars/women etc.
I.e. I think I find Kate Moss hot, but do I?

Damien Hirst Spot Prints, by bombaytrix on Jan 24, 2012 13:39:56 GMT 1, Funny how its those who are supposed to be 'collectors' who are trying to
hype this release, but at the same time are trying to sell works, they've just bought in to
their supposed "collection" (in private and not so private)

Damien Hirst Spot Prints, by Poppy Sunshine on Jan 24, 2012 15:05:44 GMT 1, Just make sure you get the right one stang.
There's one on music, one on movies I think and the last one on art.
I only watched the art one.
I seem to remember a similar programme about beauty and some bonkers professor coming up with a point scoring method based on specific sizes of parts of the face and their distance from each other.
Guess what......Kate Moss came out about perfect.
You just can't argue with science !!

Damien Hirst Spot Prints, by trapnel1 on Jan 24, 2012 23:22:16 GMT 1, I've always wondered whether the names and colours of these are completely random or not. Called in to OC today to have a look them, and particularly liked the controlled substances sets. Had a good chat about them with the very helpful staff - there is some decoding to be done, which at least shows thought and planning and should provide some short term amusement for bored visitors. Phendimetrazine is an old appetite suppresant/weight loss drug and is the one with half the spots missing, which also makes sense and I suspect is not chance. I am severely tempted by this one for professional reasons! Does anyone know if there is a similar plausible story behind any of the others?

Damien Hirst Spot Prints, by trapnel1 on Jan 25, 2012 0:27:14 GMT 1, So I know that the chemical names come from a Sigma Chemicals catalogue (familiar to anyone who has worked in a research lab). But is there any attempt to link the structure of the painting to the name chosen? Generally I think not, but Phendimetrazine may be an exception. It could be chance of course, but it seems a big coincidence that the spot painting with half the spots missing is named after a weight loss drug. Are there any other examples where the name can be linked in some way to the structure of the painting?

manifoldeditions.com/damien-hirst/ethisterone.html
For lovers on minimal dots - if one and a half dots suit - check these out at ยฃ1200
manifoldeditions.com/damien-hirst/cesium-sulfate.html
Footnote - I don't work for Hirst or Manifolds, but have 2 stamps in my Hirst passport and am considering adding another 9!!
