Quote of Note | Damien Hirst

“I keep getting this thing about painting your own work. You don’t paint the spots and all that shit. I’m doing this other stuff where I’ve got two guys in Italy carving a sculpture out of granite. So I’ve made a plaster, working in the foundry, of two figures. One of them is based on Michelangelo’s “Slaves,” the other on the sculpture of a female slave by Hiram Powers. These two guys are amazing granite carvers and they are working day in, day out.
