| “Famotidine”, 2004 - 2011, Damien Hirst |
It took a little bit of persuading but I did get the family into the Gagosian gallery to see Damien Hirst's "The Complete Spots Paintings 1986-2011" exhibit. The perfectly executed spots of beautiful colors did not inpress my young art critic. She shrugged and said that it was whole lot of effort for "a bunch of neatly spaced spots." In the end agreed that we felt like we were inside a very orderly paint factory swatch library. I thought the need for two security guards in each gallery room was a over the top but we decided that one guy was needed to chase and the other restrain if someone suddenly became overwhelmed with desire to connect the spots. Mr. Hirst's artist statement states that he has a phenomenal love of color. There are more than 300 paintings to prove this and they can all be seen until February 18 th in New York, Paris, London, Rome, Geneva, Athens, Hong Kong, and Beverly Hills! The best part of the experience will be getting the kids take on it. Perfect for all.
