Friday Photo: Worshiping Damien Hirst's Golden Calf

In a pioneering move akin to a novel spin on a hugely lucrative greatest hits album, artist Damien Hirst has created a body of work specifically to be sold at auction—more specifically, at Sotheby’s in London on September 15-16. “It’s a very democratic way to sell art and it feels like a natural evolution for contemporary art,” says Hirst. In three sales over two days, the “Beautiful Inside My Head Forever” auction will include 223 lots that Sotheby’s estimates will bring in approximately £65 million ($128 million at current exchange rates).
