You would think that in this economic crisis, most people, even the rich, would refrain from spending any money…. however, there are those who would stupidly pay an excessive amount for any painting by over-rated artist Damien Hirst.
A two-day auction of his latest collection, displayed at Sotheby’s in London has fetched a world-record £111million. Yet a few miles away in the City, stocks and shares have crash landed like a lead balloon, reducing the value of pensions and resulting in huge job losses that will soon be painfully felt around the country.
Still, at least Hirst will have some financial security when he hangs up his paintbrush. The rest of us may not be so lucky….
