It’s Not A Failed Restaurant, It’s Art! Buy Some!

Glamorously controversial UK artist Damien Hirst has an auction all his own this week at Sotheby’s in London. “This sale, which Sotheby’s expects will net between £3 million and £7 million will also be an opportunity for Nigel Q. Public to buy an authentic Hirst, even if it’s only an authentic eggcup.” The pieces up for auction are actually the detritus from Hirst’s now-defunct, clinic-themed Pharmacy Restaurant & Bar, which was conceived as part of the “Cool Brittania” movement a few years back.
