Damien Hirst, Tate Modern, London (04.04.12 - 09.09.12) |
Last month I was in London for a business trip and decided to stay there for the weekend, too. Finally I could cath up with my former colleagues from Louis Vuitton, had an amazing talk with my former boss and visited a few exhibitions, too. Damien Hirst wasn't on my list as the show is on until September all I wanted to see is the shop after the Kusama show (Kusama was about to end). But then we realised that the shop is only for the exhibition crowd....weird concept indeed. A lovely lady saved us and let us in from the other end...she even closed her eyes, how sweet... We didn't pay to get in... So we had a quick run (at least to see that famous shark...) and headed to the shop... The reason I wanted to go that I read a lot of comments about Mr Hirst's greed on Facebook and I wanted to see it myself. Indeed the shop is full of the Other Criteria merchandise... No comments...
To finish off the Tate visit before heading to the Royal Court we had a quick bite in the restaurant. I wanted to have a fish and chips and my friend ordered the same... The fish was so huge - we looked at the plates and looked at each other and started to laugh....oh...the shark!
