Hirst's Masterpiece?? (and lord knows I love sharks)
Noah Charney, apparently, reeaaaalllly like's Damien Hirst's shark. So much so, he calls it a "masterpiece". Masterpiece? Really?? Art historians don't take that word lightly. "Masterpiece" strikes me as a term bestowed upon great artworks by the general congregation of art historians (in agreement). It was just last week at CAA that I heard Hirst's art referred to as "Hazmat art".Masterpiece?? Maybe not. Sharktastic?? Most definitely.
