Artist Damien Hirst: Olympic Ambassador?

"As the world descends on London for the 2012 Olympics, the formaldehyde animals, diamond skulls and spin paintings of Damien Hirst will demonstrate to the visiting masses the prowess of contemporary British culture. Tate Modern has announced that Hirst's first major retrospective will coincide with the sporting event."

FUN FACT! My former boss, real estate mogul Ralph Burnett and owner of the Chambers Hotel in Minneapolis, has the second largest collection of Hirst pieces behind Charles Saatchi! Tagged under: WOW! COOL~!! OMG!
