Damien Hirst's 66 Foot Naked "Verity" Statue Unveiled

PRESS ASSOCIATION

Comments

No other living artist can create both shock and awe with two major installations in one week. This statue of a pregnant woman, with her skin cut from her body on one side was lowered into place in the north Devon town of Ilfracombe. At the same time, Hirst was the target of anger from insect lovers who criticized another installation at the Tate Modern museum where 9,000 butterflies died. No wonder is the most commercially successful artist living today. He knows how to get people talking, and I love it!
