Art Star Finds New Sources of Income
With the price of art falling hard, 35% percent in the first quarter of 2009, even art world heavyweights are looking for new sources of income. Nobody is buying multi-million dollar formaldehyde-soaked sharks or diamond-studded skulls any more, so Damien Hirst is back designing album art for The Hours, along with skateboard decks for Supreme, a book cover for Penguin Classic, and blue jeans for Levi’s. This of course on top of that £200 he managed to squeeze out of a teenage collage artist by threatening to sue for copyright infringement.
