The most famous contemporary British artist Damien Hirstseems to have decided in life to try everything he can, to touch with his brilliant hand everything he can. For example, his next creation was a series of forty skateboards, the drawing for the boards of which he created.
Sir Damien Hirst is well known to regular visitors to our site, and indeed to all lovers of contemporary art. Our readers will probably remember Hirst's children's skull made of jewels or the Audi A1 car he painted. But today we want to tell you about a series of forty works at once, created by this indefatigable Briton.
This time, he decided not to shock the world community with his works, apparently, he had enough of a cow carcass and children's skulls, the public has not yet experienced them, public opinion has not digested. But money is needed, and an extra mention in the press will not hurt. So Hirst responded to a proposal from New York skateboard company Supreme to create a series of exclusive boards.
As a result, from under the brush (or what does he use there?) Damien Hirst came out at once forty designs for skateboards, divided into eight thematic blocks with five boards in each. These and senseless heaps of colors, and some incomprehensible icons, symbols, shapes, spots. In general, the artist apparently had to "sweat a lot" in order to create at once forty incomprehensible author's drawings.
These skateboards will be on sale from July 12th and, surprisingly, will not cost as much as for the Master's work: $ 778 without Damien Hirst's autograph and $ 1945 with it. The party, by the way, will be released in a limited edition.
We are now waiting for a response from the "main" modern architect Zaha Hadid, known for the fact that she also loves to trade not only for revolutionary architectural structures, but also for consumer goods.
