homocidaltendency asked: What are your opinions on Hirst's spot paintings? I don't understand the merit of them at all, so that's why I'm asking, =P
Honestly? I find them to be a nice interior decoration for the rich and tasteful/trendy. Is that jealousy because the choice of purchasing one of these pieces is never going to be mine? Perhaps. They are aesthetically pleasing. The geometry and symmetry of the pieces are pleasing to me. The colors are subtle but different. He references his pharmaceutical pieces, which I do find stimulating, so that is something interesting.
I’m not going to judge what other people want to buy, because I don’t want to give them the right to judge my purchase choices. I haven’t seen all of them, but then again, I don’t honestly think anyone needs to.
Also something you and I don’t have to understand? Why other people like them. If they do? More power to them, let them enjoy it. If you don’t, it really shouldn’t be any skin off our backs what some people enjoy to put in their homes and collections. Not our houses, right?
